Notas de degustación
Vino tinto potente con cuerpo, de color peonía profundo con lágrimas espesas y brillantes. Nariz apretada llena de grosellas negras y estricta evolución especiada con pimienta negra y de Szechuan, rosas negras y violetas. Sabor complejo, con cuerpo, con taninos maduros firmes pero carnosos y ácidos distintivos que mantienen el equilibrio bajo control, postgusto especiado intenso y largo. Sabor armonioso rico y maduro, con predominio de taninos y ácidos que garantizan el futuro, llenando la boca y ricamente perfumado en el retro. ¡Vino con clase! Pide platos distinguidos en los que prima la calidad de la carne, preferentemente ternera de larga crianza y caza silvestre, como la liebre y la cierva, potaje de tubérculos con col lombarda y perfumado con hierbas mediterráneas. Hasta los cinco años, dejar respirar unas horas en garrafa. Temperatura de servicio: 16°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.
