About this product

Product description

Dry, Full Bodied style of Shiraz

Considered by many to be Australia's pre-eminent cool-climate Shiraz, Mount Langi Ghiran Shiraz is nestled in western Victoria, right in the heart of the Grampians wine region. Langi Shiraz is a classic, a true to type wine that Dan Buckle has hand-crafted into a sensuous wine that displays exotic aromas and flavours of spice, savouriness and that trademark pepper character. Conditions during the 2007 vintage were considered to be arduous with the ongoing drought and fairly high temperatures, yet the old vines available to Mount Langi most definitely protected this wonderful wine from such rigours and has produced a Langi Shiraz equal to the greatest Langi's available.

Near-identical deep crimson colour to all six releases; has the multi-layered flavours promised by the bouquet, and more texture from the fine, ripe tannins which run through the medium- to full-bodied palate and lingering aftertaste.

The mix of juicy blue and red fruits, pepper and spice, perfume and oak is just about spot on – no one thing too much, or too little. It’s clean and fresh, and while nudging full bodied, retains a sense of lightness and finesse. There’s some grainy whole bunch grip to the tannins adding control and a finish of excellent length. It’s great to drink now and should age beautifully. A top MLG.
