Notas de degustación
Vino tinto potente, con cuerpo, de color cereza intenso y lágrimas coloridas. La nariz estalla llena de frutas maduras y jugosas de cassis y cerezas de carne, sobre ciruelas negras y moras, así como pimienta negra y violetas de madera. Sabor cerrado al inicio, pero tan maduro que está listo para beber de inmediato con una textura equilibrada y taninos maduros, un postgusto largo de bayas negras con arbustos del interior en el final. Compañero soñado del huevo verde o de la parrillada al aire libre, casa a la perfección con ternera a la parrilla y hamburguesas lascivamente adornadas con cebolla asada y tomates de ternera confitados, así como con pimientos tiernos a la parrilla con champiñones y quesos frescos de moho blanco. Temperatura de servicio: 15°C.
Wine Story
Established in 1969, now home to one of Australia’s most iconic cool climate wines, Langi Shiraz. Mount Langi Ghiran – 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, producing iconic cool climate wines. The first vines were planted on the property in the late 1800s at the site which is now our ‘Contour Block’, but it’s when the Fratin family replanted in 1969 that Mount Langi Ghiran really came to be.
The Fratin brothers: Don, Lino and Serge, an Italian immigrant family had a dream of creating a little piece of Veneto here in Australia. In planting their first vines, they created the iconic “Langi” Old Block Shiraz. The brothers continued planting vines adding Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Not satisfied with just grapes, they planted chestnuts, walnuts, hazelnuts and some fruit trees. The cellar they built into the side of the hill was a feast for the senses, the rafters sagging with salami and other smallgoods while stillage racks held the new vintage in barrels.
After some early winemaking success, the Fratins had a misfire with their 1980 vintage and decided they needed the services of a consultant. They were fortunate to have at their doorstep one of the best available at the time, Trevor Mast. Talented and charismatic; he was the right man in the right place.
6 years later, Trevor and his wife Sandra purchased Mount Langi Ghiran with Ian Menzies. A turning point for Mount Langi Ghiran, Trevor had a vision for a cool climate Shiraz before cool climate was in vogue and so the iconic Langi Shiraz was just around the corner.
