Notes de Dégustation
Vin rouge plein et corsé à la robe intense rouge cerise et aux larmes colorées. Nez éclatant de fruits mûrs et juteux, cassis et bigarreaux, avec des prunes et des mûres et aussi du poivre noir et de la violette. Attaque puissante, mais vin tellement mûr qu’il en devient immédiatement gouleyant. Structure équilibrée et tanins bien mûrs avec longue arrière bouche de baies noires et de l’outback bush dans la finale. Compagnon rêvé d’un barbecue avec une pièce de bœuf grillée ou des hamburgers généreusement garnis d’oignons rôtis et de tomates. Parfait aussi avec des poivrons grillés avec des champignons ou un fromage frais à pâte molle. Température de service : 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.
