The 2023 Mount Langi Ghiran Billi Billi Shiraz is a delicious Shiraz made from a selection of premium cool climate vineyards throughout Victoria; predominantly the Grampians including a portion from the Mount Langi Ghiran vineyards, home of the iconic Langi Shiraz. Beautifully approachable, this is a medium-bodied generous wine with vibrant red and blue fruit flavours, finely structured tannins, white pepper notes and a delicious clean finish.
"A multi-regional Victorian blend which still manages to boast a strong black pepperiness à la Grampians. It's an inviting signature move and a Billi Billi trademark. Black pepper, aniseed, licorice and black berries, plums and spice meld and move with energy in the glass. Easy drinking all the way. Fab price, too. 92 Points. Drink: 2024 - 2029. Screwcap. 13.5% alc"- Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion.
"A bright as a button cheery medium-bodied Shiraz that pleads for immediate drinking while all the vibrant and lively youthful fruit flavours are dominant. Engages immediately with spicy bright plum and light mocha aroma. The palate reveals a spicy dark plum flavour supported by fine tannins and a light touch of oak. 91 Points. $25. Drink: 2024 - 2028."- Ray Jordan, winepilot.com.
