{"title":"Mount Langi Gihran","description":"\u003cp\u003eMount Langi Ghiran is one of the estates that convinced Australia its Shiraz didn't have to be big and jammy. From a cold, granite-strewn site in Victoria's Grampians, it makes peppery, fine-boned Shiraz that has long been a benchmark for the country's cool-climate style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard sits at around 350 meters at the foot of Mount Langi Ghiran itself, roughly 190 kilometers west of Melbourne, on granite-derived loam in one of the coldest corners of the region. The Fratin brothers founded the winery in 1969, planting cuttings from the historic Best's nursery vineyard at nearby Great Western. Trevor Mast, who started out consulting for the Fratins, later bought the estate and made its name in the 1980s and '90s, and the Rathbone family has owned it since the early 2000s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShiraz is the heart of the vineyard and of the range, from the approachable Billi Billi through the Cliff Edge to the flagship Langi Shiraz, made from the estate's oldest block. Long, cool ripening gives the wines their signature black pepper, along with dark berry fruit, spice and fine tannins. Top bottles age gracefully for well over a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/collections\/mount-langi-gihran.oembed","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
