The Story

Looking at the vineyard today, it's hard to believe that it started as a scrub block with a scattering of tin sheds when vines were first planted by the Fratin family in 1969. In doing so, the iconic "Langi" Old Block Shiraz was created which has since received international acclaim in its ability to produce distinctive Shiraz with cool climate hallmarks. Langi continues to be seen as an iconic cool climate Shiraz producer with the team continuing to create wines that are a true reflection of the unique site.

The Values

As part of their Sustainability Action Plan and as certified members of Sustainable Wine Growing Australia (SWA), Mount Lange Ghiran believe that sustainability starts in the vineyard, harnessing their natural biodiversity, all whilst reducing our environmental footprint. From the inception of Mount Langi Ghiran, predating their membership with SWA, the cornerstone of their management plan is the in-depth knowledge of their vines, soils, waterways and flora and fauna. Having a knowledgeable understanding of the vine makeup, to them, truly represents what sustainable longevity.
From the winery
One of the most isolated and unique vineyards in Australian viticulture, the raw elements of soil, climate vines combine to create one of Australia’s most distinctive flavors of Mount Langi Ghiran wines. The weathered granite cliff face and sedimentary soils, the cold prevailing winds forming off the Southern Ocean and the historic vinestock all play a critical role in producing the distinctive flavors of Mount Langi Ghiran wines.
