Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Great Dividing Range in the Grampians region of Victoria Mount Langi Ghiran is undoubtably one of Australia’s greatest shiraz producers and consistently rated 5 Red Stars by James Halliday. Mount Langi Ghiran Cliff Edge Shiraz is second only to their flagship shiraz Mount Langi, 100% premium cool climate. Sourced from a selection of blocks across and different clones from the historic Mount Langi Ghiran vineyard where the combination of Langi’s cool climates, old vines and granite sands produce Shiraz with great intensity, purity and finesse.
Winemaking: A combination of small open and large, open-top concrete fermenters. 100% Whole berry, wild yeasts, 14-month maturation in French barriques, 35% new.
Bright medium garnet. Blackberry, black cherries, vanilla, tar and baking spice. Raspberries, red currant, red liquorice and blackberry mix on the palate with baking spice and mocha notes. Pure, acid drive and silky tannins. Beautifully proportioned and gorgeously balanced.
93 points, Campbell Mattinson, James Halliday Australian Wine Companion “If you’re drinking this, you’re drinking well. It has the spiced cherry-and-mint profile so typical of the region down pat; it rips black pepper notes out of juicy, jubey fruit; it’s etched with fine-grained tannin, and every step of the way, it feels balanced and sure.”
92 points, Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot “Despite some challenges in the second half of vintage, the wine has turned out mighty well. It’s medium-bodied and elegantly structured with a lively mix of blackberry and spicy dark plum. On the palate, you find rich dark plum characters and a light touch of chocolate. The slightly chalky tannins and well-managed oak provide the framework to support further cellaring.”
