Langi Shiraz is selectively hand harvested from the iconic “Langi Old Block”, planted in 1970 to what we refer to as “Swiss Clone”. This site has produced unique and highly expressive cool climate shiraz since 1979. Each vintage deeply reflects Langi and its seasons, and epitomises the finesse of cool climate shiraz.

Up to 10 parcels of fruit are separately harvested across the block to capture and highlight the nuances of the site. Due to its cool climate, Old Block is typically one of the last shiraz vineyards to be harvested in Australia. A long, slow ripening contributes to the development of a stunning range of fruit flavours, perfumes, pepper and spice; Old Block delivers highly complex, graceful shiraz with depth and detail.

“Deep red/purple colour. The bouquet has dusty-earthy, peppery, dry spice and floral aromas; the palate lush and gorgeously elegant, fruit-sweet and stylish, with complex berry fruit and spice flavours of real charm. There’s a floral overtone – the bouquet is quite exquisite. Great intensity, precision and length of palate. A great wine; very likely the best Langi shiraz yet.” – 98 Points Huon Hooke

“Tasting this makes you feel all’s well with the world. It’s the very essence of refinement, balance and elegance. It’s delicately aromatic with violets, pepper – just a smidge – wood spice and dark blue-red fruits. It’s ultimately a savoury wine. Velvety tannins, complex flavours and a lingering finish. Bravo.” – 97 Points Jane Faulkner

“One of the Langi’s of all time: Waves of cherry, plum and olive” – 98 Points Matthew Jukes for Decanter

“The Langi vineyard is one of the most distinquished and distinctive sites for Shiraz in the country….. spice, personality, endurance, persistence, superfine tannin and sheer, unbridled, euphoric joy”  – 97 Points Tyson Stelzer
