Longboard Vineyards

Longboard was born from the passion of Oded Shakked, surfer first, winemaker later, who brings a unique perspective to winemaking, or rather winegrowing as he prefers to call it. Longboard believes that great tasting wines are those that are true to the people and place that grew them. Thus, they extend the notion of “terroir” to include the human aspect, not just the soils, climate and weather.
Fruit-driven with earthy, mineral, and wet stone notes, the palate is framed by opulent tannins and a bright acidity. Malbec and Merlot add complexity and richness to the blend.
Harvested in late September, the grapes were macerated for 12 days to enhance colour and tannins. Aged 23 months in French oak, it offers depth and precision.
