The Mount Langi Ghiran winery got its name from the Aboriginal words for home of the yellow tailed black cockatoo. It was established in 1969 by brothers Don, Lino, and Serge Fratin, natives of Italy’s Veneto region. In 1980, they hired winemaker Trevor Mast who with his wife bought the winery in 1986. He remained at Mount Langi Ghiran until 2006 when Adam Louder became Chief Winemaker. He is the one who made this wine. It comes from the Langi vineyard, which was the first vineyard planted by the brothers. It is concentrated and complex with fruit flavors of blackberry, blueberry, and cherry, laced with notes of peppercorns, vanilla, baking spices and a touch of smoke. While the fruit is concentrated, the wine it is not heavy. It has vibrant acidity that enlivens the fruit and the chalky tannins that support a solid yet supple structure. Drink 2024-2039

Very deep, concentrated red/purple colour, youthful and bright. The bouquet is powerful and high-impact, it bounces out of the glass, with pepper-spice and graphite, ironstone and blackberry aromas, while the flavour is intense and focused, concentrated and long, with power but not heaviness. The tannins are fine and coat the mouth, the richness of flavour ensuring it lingers long after the wine has gone. A spectacular Shiraz.

The iconic Langi Shiraz, forty years after its first vintage. The times have changed and over the years so has the wine taking on an intensity and depth of fruit not out of place in Heathcote. This is a big, ripe Langi with plenty of volume and flavour. It’s deep ruby colour is backed up by a seriously intense core of dark fruits – blackberry, rocky minerality, blackcurrant and liquorice are well supported by 60% new, small French oak. The palate follows with lashings of sweet, rich fruit and mouthcoating tannins with warming alcohol helping to drive a long finish.
