Description
Established in 1969, Mount Langi Ghiran, the Aboriginal for ‘home of the yellow tailed black cockatoo’, is set amongst the dramatic backdrop of the Great Dividing Range in the Grampians region of Victoria. In 1980, the talented and energetic wine consultant Trevor Mast worked with the Fratin brothers raising the quality and six years later he purchased the property. Trevor pioneered the cool-climate style and with that, one of Australia’s most iconic wines the Langi Shiraz, was born. In 2018 Adam Louder, previously a cellar hand under Trevor Mast, became Head Winemaker, he crafts iconic wines that are elegant, full of finesse and the epitome of cool-climate Shiraz. 70% whole-berry, 30% whole-bunch fermentation took place, with natural yeasts in small open-top fermenters. Manual plunging or pumping-over occurred during a period of two to three weeks on the skins. The wine was pressed to tank to settle overnight, before being transferred to barrels where malolactic conversion was completed. 18 months barrel-maturation in 100% French oak barriques (40% new).
Tasting Note :
Mouth-coating tannins provide a structured, harmonious backbone, leading to an extraordinarily long, persistent finish. The wine’s natural acidity ensures balance and elegance, culminating in a lingering echo of spice, earth, and ripe fruit. Mount Langi Ghiran ‘Mast’ Shiraz is a benchmark cool-climate Australian Shiraz, defined by elegance, concentration, and a seamless integration of fruit, oak, and fine structure. This is a wine of sophistication and longevity, perfect for those seeking the true essence of the Grampians in their glass.
