Wine Description
Langi Shiraz is a revered benchmark for cool climate Australian Shiraz. From the fruit of old vines planted on our isolated vineyard in 1969, this landmark wine reveals the vibrant synergy between site and variety. The secret of what makes Langi Shiraz great lies in the unique character of the vines. The Langi Old Block shiraz vineyard dips and weaves across the landscape, proffering parcels of fruit of extreme complexity and stunning finesse. Each of these parcels is selectively harvested and then fermented separately to capture their inimitable qualities at their peak. Gift box included.

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.”
