Simple Pleasures Just Get Better
Long Flat have been delivering affordable, trusted wines for over 40 years. 2010 sees our favourite wines with a stylish new look and contemporary lightweight bottles.
The fresh new look reflects the quality winemaker Shane Virgo now brings to Long Flat. His watchful eye and experience at sourcing grapes from many of Australia’s great vineyard sites has enabled Long Flat to deliver further on its reputation for consistent quality and individual character. Shane says, “Long Flat has a long and enviable history of producing great wines. Now we are lifting their unique characters to elevate them well above their price point.” So next time you are at your local wine store, look out for the Long Flat range with its lovely new packaging and ecologically-friendly lightweight bottles.
Look what’s New - Pink Moscato
If you have enjoyed the Long Flat Moscato, you will love our new Pink Moscato. It’s slightly fizzy and fruity with a lift of raspberry and apple with musk undertones. The great news is that its only 6% alcohol so you can enjoy sensibly while celebrating all things PINK.
Seedstick Promotion
For a limited time, over the next few months you will see an interesting addition to the Long Flat bottles in your local wine store. Each bottle of Long Flat Sem Sauv Blanc and Cabernet Merlot will carry a single seed stick which will contain one of six herbs : Parsley, Basil, Chives, Thyme, Tarragon or Oregano.
The seed sticks give you the oppportunity to grow your own herbs so you can enjoy the pleasure of cooking at home with freshly picked herbs.
Not only is it a great cost saving, but they can be grown in a garden or simply in a pot on a window sill, therefore ideal for everyone from an apartment dweller to a family with a big backyard. Just another “One of life’s simple pleasures” brought to you by Long Flat.
James Halliday Rates Long Flat in his Top 10!
The 2010 Australian Wine Companion has recently been released. James Halliday awarded Long Flat 4 stars and ranked both our Semillon Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz in his top 10 of the best value wines under $10 in the country. A terrific endorsement from one of Australia’s leading wine writers.
This is what James wrote about our wines:
Long Flat Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2008 – Bright colour; straw, tropical fruit and a little honey on the bouquet; fleshy on entry with focused acidity and fresh fruit to conclude.
Rating: 88
Long flat Shiraz 2007 – Red and black fruit, with fruitcake spice; generous and slightly warm-fruited with an even and surprisingly fine-tannin finish.
Rating: 90
