- Supple and concentrated, with forest fruits underpinned by mocha, cigar box and a delicious earthiness. Mouth-coating tannins lead to an extraordinarily long finish. 2020 was a relatively cool year with slightly below-average crop levels; the season was drawn out, adding to the complex spice, red fruit and natural acidity. There was not enough sunshine in the second half of the season to ripen the very best blocks within the Langi single vineyard to the level required to produce the flagship, Langi Shiraz, so in 2020, it was not produced. There was just enough fruit in the red, earthy spectrum from House Block 4 to make a small amount of the 2020 Mast.

With natural yeasts in a small open-top ferment, 70% whole-berry and 30% whole-bunch fermentation occurred. Manual plunging or pumping-over occurred for two to three weeks on the skins. Shiraz benefits from open-top fermentation, being a naturally reductive variety; it allows oxygen exposure to be maximised without overworking and over-extraction. The wine was pressed into a tank to settle overnight before being transferred to barrels where malolactic conversion was completed. 18 months barrel-maturation in 100% French oak barriques (40% new).

| Winery | The Mount Langi Ghiran vineyard is 350 metres above sea level and set between the namesake Mount Langi Ghiran (922m) and Mount Cole (760m). The mountains create a cooling effect as cold air tumbles down and into the valley. The shadow cast shortens the effective sunshine hours in autumn, extending grape ripening and contributing natural acidity and intense fruit flavours. Mountain erosion over time has created a unique profile of granite sands over sedimentary red clay loam. The texture of this soil profile is ideal for moderating the natural vigour of the Shiraz vine, contributing to the subtle spicy pepper flavour for which Mount Langi Ghiran has become renowned. The vines have an average age of 25 years and are Swiss and PT23 clones, with the majority on their own rootstocks. |
