Mount Langi Ghiran Cliff Edge Shiraz 2020 Grampians - Australia

96 Points Australian Wine Companion: "Whole-berry wild fermentation in concrete, both small open-topped and large closed fermenters. Left 14 days on skins, matured 14 months in French barriques (30% new). Often cited as a benchmark cool-climate shiraz, there's no denying this is yet another impressive, elegant shiraz from a strong vintage. Boasts refined richness and a depth of flavour that is well-matched to a vivacious personality. Fruit is the star, with flecks of pepper and spice assisted by plump tannins. That's a WOW!"

93 Points Wine Enthusiast "Editor's Choice":"From the granite soils and cool climates of the Grampians mountains, this baby brother to Langi's premium Shiraz provides excellent value. Highly peppery from first sniff, it also offers fresh red and black berry fruit underpinned by tar, eucalyptus and a touch of vanillin oak. There's juicy, satiny succulence to the midweight palate. Pure, firm, fresh and balanced, this is just what Aussie Syrah should be." 

Tasting Notes: The 2020 Mount Langi Ghiran Cliff Edge Shiraz is sourced from a selection of blocks across the historic Mount Langi Ghiran vineyard situated in the Grampians region of Victoria. The combination of Langi's cool climate, old vines, and granite soils produces Shiraz with great intensity, purity, and finesse. The nose offers aromas of blackberry, black cherries, vanilla, tar, and, baking spice while raspberry, red currant, red licorice, and blackberry mix on the palate with baking spice and mocha notes.
