Wine Tasting with Peter Saturno (Longview Vineyard)

Handpicked and Ceggo BoardROOM hosted a wine tasting session with Peter Saturno from Longview Vineyard on 30 April 2012. 50 guests joined us for the evening and we had their palette thoroughly satisfied!



 



 





About Longview:

Longview is a stunning family owned Australian vineyard located just outside the historic township of Macclesfield in the Adelaide Hills. Set on undulating slopes reminiscent of classic old world estates, it has quickly established itself as one the most awarded vineyards in the region since its first vintage in 2001.

Peter and his brother, Mark, are the mind and heart of Longview Vineyard. Brothers Peter and Mark Saturno were eager for a change from the big city lifestyle of New York City and decided they were ready to move back to their native South Australia to take on the challenge of producing the kind of premium, cool climate wines they had developed a passion for whilst abroad. Along with their sister, mother and father the boys have wine, food and hospitality in their blood and with help from dedicated vineyard staff, this family affair aims for further success while never forgetting the fundamentals of past achievements.

Handpicked is the exclusive importer / distributor of Longview Wine in Malaysia. Currently, we have the following Longview Wine for distribution:

- Longview's 2011 'Whippet' Sauvignon Blanc
- Longview's 2011 'Bluecow' Chardonnay
- Longview's 2009 'Red Bucket' Shiraz Cabernet
- Longview's 2008 'Yakka' Shiraz
