Description

The original Mount Langi vineyard was established in the 1870’s when European immigrants travelled to Western Victoria to discover gold. By the turn of last century, early vineyards were replaced by sheep farming and it was not until 1963 that the Italian born Fratin brothers re-established the Shiraz vineyard with a Swiss clone. In 1978, the brothers appointed Trevor Mast as consultant winemaker. Inspired by the potential of the vineyard and keen to develop it further, Trevor and Sandra Mast purchased the property in 1987. In late 2002 the property was sold to the Rathbone family. Trevor stayed on as head winemaker, with Dan Buckle joining the team. Dan took the reins from Trevor in 2003 and continued on until 2012. Current winemaker Adam Louder’s career began at Mount Langhi Ghiran in 1998 where he worked as a cellar hand under Trevor Mast and then worked alongside Dan Buckle. After working around the globe in various winemaking roles he returned to Mount Langhi in 2016 as chief winemaker.

Mount Langi Ghiran

Mount Langi Ghiran was originally planted in 1870 and has become the home of one of Australia's finest cool-climate wines, the Langi Shiraz. The most recent owners of the property are the Rathbone family who bought the property in 2002. Dan Buckle took over from Trevor Mast as winemaker in 2003 and has continued on the tradition of exceptional winemaking.

Set in the Grampians region of Victoria, the Mount Langi Ghiran vineyard is one of the most isolated and unique sites in Australian viticulture. The vineyards sit 350 metres above sea level, and Mount Cole is approximately 3km opposite. When cold air tumbles down the mountains at night, the two mountains create a cooling effect. During Autumn, the shadow of the mountain causes less daylight, creating perfect conditions for an extended ripening period. The soils have a granite layer that sits on top of red clay loams, which provides more complexity in the fruit.

While 80 per cent of the production is Shiraz, other varieties planted here include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese for reds, and Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling for whites.
