------------------
Longview係一間係香港能見度頗少的酒莊, 2001年首次推出作品, 反應相當唔錯。

The Piece系列就係Longview為左支持當地街頭塗鴉而做的一個Project, 每年會用當地塗鴉藝術家的作品做酒標。
唔只酒標奪目, 酒本身其實亦用上葡萄園最好的葡萄 (Longview最出名的三號田), 而且只用手工採摘葡萄, 務求以最好的葡萄釀出最好的酒, 絕對不是為Gimmick而推出的酒款。

Official tasting note for reference:

An elegant and complex wine which displays aromas of baking spices, maraschino cherry, anise and coffee coupled with restrained pencil shavings of French oak.
The structured palate displays flavours of cherry, red currant, mulberries and fresh acidity.
Dusty tannins complement the finish which is dry and clean with tremendous length.
