Mount Langi Ghiran in the Grampians has long been regarded as one of Australia's leading cool-climate Shiraz makers, and their Cliff Edge Shiraz always punches well above its weight in the value for money stakes.
Supremely elegant and supple, the 2024 Mount Langi Ghiran Cliff Edge Shiraz continues the outstanding recent form of this wine; delivering intense red and black cherry fruit flavours, blackberry and hints of raspberry. These flavours are complimented by subtle tannins, lively acidity and the pepper spice the region is famous for. The impressive length and balance makes it a standout Shiraz at this price that will appeal to the many fans of Mount Langi Ghiran.
"93 Points. Whole-berry ferments in small and large concrete open-top fermenters, seven to 10 days on skins, 18 months' maturation in French barriques (25% new). Signature pepper isn't always guaranteed, but when it's noted in Grampians shiraz, as it is here, it certainly gets the pulse racing. It's an integrated spice note, in no way aggressive, lifting ripe black berries, cassis, licorice, Aussie bush notes, so beautifully delivered, along with fine-grained tannins and a brightness of acidity. Effortless balance. $35. 14.5% alc. Drink: 2026 - 2033. Screwcap"- Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion.
