97 / 100"25yo vines, hand-picked, 65% crushed, 35% whole bunches, cold soak, cultured yeast, 2 weeks on skins, matured in French oak (35% new) for 16 months. Each of the '14 Langi Shirazs ha its own personality and presence, very different to the others. This is medium to full-bodied, with power and drive to its dark fruits, ripe tannins and positive oak. Packaged in the heaviest bottle, it is a mouthwatering wine of great quality and style. Wine for Mozart."

Tasting Notes
Mount Langi Ghiran – Aboriginal for home of the yellow tailed black cockatoo – is set amongst the dramatic backdrop of the Great Dividing Range in the Grampians region of Victoria, producing iconic cool climate wines. The first vines were planted on the property in the late 1800s at the site which is now our ‘Contour Block’, but it’s when the Fratin family replanted in 1969 that Mount Langi Ghiran really came to be.
Trevor Mast was a legend of the Australian wine scene. Among his many accomplishments, he is most revered as a pioneer of cool climate Shiraz. The Mast Shiraz is our tribute to his memory, recognising his role in establishing the reputation of Mount Langi Ghiran. Thanks to his foresight, our vineyards showcase the ultimate expression of cool climate Shiraz.
