Longview dares to re-invent the wine event, boldly offering a sensory explosion of wine, art, food, dance and music.

Starting in January 2011 and continuing annually people are invited to the vineyard to witness creation as 4 street artists vie for a chance to be featured on the label of Longview’s ‘The Piece’ Shiraz.

Accompanied by beats and break-dancers these professional artists craft individual pieces that Longview’s visitors can literally be a part of as they watch the modern masters at work and vote on the piece that excites them most.

As guests stroll through the most amazing vineyard scenery the Adelaide Hills has to offer, they can sip award winning wine, savour amazing food and witness a live art, dance and music celebration that unfolds before their eyes.

The Art

Call it graffiti, call it genius, call it vandalism if you must but street art is a living breathing medium that is dynamic, daring and innovative.

It’s no longer the misunderstood underground culture it once was and it’s here to stay.

Longview is supporting established and upcoming street artists by involving them in a competition where their imaginations can run wild. As the summer sun sets, the 4 pieces are judged by a panel of experts and the people themselves, with the winner claiming some pretty coveted real-estate … the front label of Longview Vineyard’s ‘The Piece’ Shiraz.

The Creation

Set on undulating slopes in the southern Adelaide Hills, Longview Vineyard’s unique micro-climate is perfect for producing cool-climate Shiraz fruit.

With grapes grown at 350m above sea level coupled with our southern proximity, the diurnal range our vines enjoy creates an environment of sun-kissed days, cool nights and ocean breezes that allow to fruit to chill-out nicely. These factors form an extended ripening period which allows the fruit hang on the vine for longer creating a harmony of life-sustaining natural acid, concentration of heady fruit and spice flavours in the grape berry.

Longview’s ‘The Piece’ shatters all typecasts with this stunning super-premium Shiraz, offering a rarefied wine for connoisseurs and punters alike, wrapped in art that is and always has been for the people. Its style, finesse, longevity and structure will open new horizons for what Shiraz can be.   

Da Klinic

The growing season in 2008 was exceptional in Macclesfield despite
a burst of late heat. We picked all the Shiraz for ‘The Piece’ from
our best performing blocks, which in 2008 were Block 2 North and
the famous Block 3. These ripened bunches were handpicked, berry
sorted and fermented in four separate one tonne open fermenters.
‘The Piece’ Shiraz was aged for 30 months in new 300 litre French
oak hogsheads. We used medium toast Allier oak from the following
coopers: Damy, Siruge and Boutes.

We recommend careful decanting. Once opened it displays aromas
of white pepper, liquorice and chocolate coupled with restrained
French oak. The palate displays a tightly wound balance of cherry,
blueberries and acid. Dusty tannins complement the finish which is
dry and clean with tremendous length. Cellar for 10 years or more.

450 six packs were produced. Alcohol: 14.5%  pH: 3.44
Residual sugar: 0.8 g/l  Date of bottling: 1 June 2011

2013 Artists: Tiff

Stoops’ work is based on studying 35 years of graffiti from around the world. Learning the history and traditions of the form lead him on style chase but after all the years of gathering knowledge, sketching night after night and piecing constantly Stoops is always striving to create a feeling of old school nostalgia mixed with space aura, light fantasy and funk explosions. Stoops returns to Krush Klinic for another crack at the title!

Engaging the urban with the organic Phibs is one the most respected and renowned names in Australian Graffiti/Street Art. He produces works across a vast variety of mediums and consistently reflects his own unique realms of symbolism, multiculturalism and mythology.

2013 Artists: Phibs

Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, Peque paints the reality of the society in which he grew up. While his comic style characters are fun and larger than life, imagery such as urban warriors, Mexican wrestlers, omnipotent Aztec gods and mythological beings populate the landscapes of Peque’s murals.

Vans The Omega

Using Longview’s landscape as inspiration,
Vans took the out the judges award at the
inaugural Krush Klinic event. Likening our
rolling vineyards to the silhouette of a woman,
Vans seamlessly merged urban street-style
with rural landscape.

Vans was first influenced by hieroglyphics
and ancient letterforms for their beauty and
structure. As a kid while riding the tram or
trains he saw graffiti which really impacted
him. By the early 90s Vans had done his first
piece in the street and finally a whole world
of style opened up.
