Wine Description
Our vineyard lies peacefully nestled in the arms of its namesake, the 400-million-year-old granite massif; Mount Langi Ghiran. Over time, the forces of Mother Nature have cast rock fragments to the base of the mountain creating a formation we know as talus. The Talus range is an expression of the unique soils at Mount Langi Ghiran, reflecting our intimate knowledge of vine, soil and mountain. The 2018 Talus Shiraz showcases a distinctive minerality with silky tannins and pure fruit that combine to create a divine balance of power and elegance.

Winemaker's Bio
Winemaker Adam Louder was born and bred in the Grampians with deep ties to Mount Langi Ghiran starting his career here in 1998 as a young cellar hand under Trevor Mast - one of the most iconic figures of cool climate winemaking. Adam worked in wineries across the Pyrenees, Margaret River (including our sister winery Xanadu), Bordeaux and Napa Valley before returning to Langi in 2016 with 32 harvests under his belt.
Drawn back to the relaxed lifestyle of the region along with his love of Grampians Shiraz he says “it’s hard to deny how unique the site of Langi actually is. Not only do we have one of the longest growing seasons which adds to the complexity; the nature and the landscape are amazing and we have a strong united team all aiming to make some of the best wines in the country.”
