We are excited to officially release our highly anticipated 2021 Langi Shiraz and 2021 Mast Shiraz. Our 2021 Langi Shiraz has earned an exceptional 98 points from Campbell Mattinson of Halliday Wine Companion, while the 2021 Mast Shiraz received an impressive 96 points from Ray Jordan of Wine Pilot.
2021 Langi Shiraz
2021 was another relatively mild year in terms of temperatures. Yields were back up above average and quality was excellent. The drawn-out ripening amplified spice characters and provided a full basket of fruit flavours. Our Langi Shiraz shows exceptional spice, elegant tannins and firm acid drive.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Medium-to-deep crimson.
Nose: Black fruits, black olive, pepper and vanilla.
Palate: With a broody intensity, this wine shows an amalgam of black, blue and red fruits, with mulberry at the forefront. Both spicy and earthy, it displays hints of purple florals and is structured by supple, yet persistent, tannins.
Cellaring: 20+ years.
Released to critical acclaim
“Grown on the estate’s ‘Old Block’ of shiraz vines, planted in 1969…It’s a magnificent release. It’s fluid, elegant and controlled but, just a bit, it also stamps its feet and says: the world is mine. It’s awash with cherry/plum, peanut shell, black pepper and floral flavours, and it’s both silken to the touch, and (super) long through the finish. This is a wine.”
Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion | 98 points
2021 Mast Shiraz
Colour: Deep purple.
Nose: Ripe black plum and blueberries, with hints of baking spice and cigar box.
Palate: Luscious blackberry and blueberry fruit flavours combine with hints of spice and well-integrated oak. Elegant tannin structure supports the flavours across the palate to an enduring finish.
Cellaring: Drinking beautifully now, this wine will also reward patient cellaring for 15+ years.
A cool climate crowd pleaser
“It is a cracker, reflecting a very good vintage. It comes off the single Home Block 4 which is the coolest on the vineyard. The key to the flavour development here was the extra hang time on the vine which has contributed to its polish refinement, tremendous depth and concentration of fruit. Highly perfumed aromas with oodles of spices working neatly with the ripe plummy fruit. It’s a plush and sumptuous wine of great balance and poise.”
Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot | 96 points
