Perched at 350 m in Victoria’s Grampians region, Mount Langi Ghiran has been a benchmark for cool‑climate Shiraz since the Fratin brothers replanted in 1969. Today, under winemaker Adam Louder, who trained under Trevor Mast, the estate continues its legacy of crafting elegant, terroir‑driven Shiraz from pre‑phylloxera vines planted in ancient granite‑over‑clay soils.

In the glass, the 2021 Talus Shiraz displays perfumed notes of violet, blackberry, white pepper, and sage, layered over forest-floor, olive brine, and subtle mocha nuances.   The palate is full-bodied yet finely sculpted, with rich layers of dark plum, clove, and spice unfolding into a long, savoury finish framed by earthy minerality.
