Mount Langi Ghiran Talus Shiraz 2022, from the Grampians region in Victoria. This single-block stunner from the estate’s rugged granite slope captivates with lifted florals, acacia, sage, black pepper and dark berries, all woven with woodsy oak scents that build endlessly in the glass. On the palate, the Mount Langi Ghiran Talus Shiraz 2022 reveals blackberry intensity, Szechuan pepper zing, violets, graphite, dried thyme and smoked meat, framed by powdery fine tannins, mineral tension and savoury length for collector-grade poise.

Elevate game nights or slow-cooked lamb shanks with it – those earthy dark fruits and spice will transform any feast into something legendary. A refined Grampians Shiraz masterpiece built for 15-20 years’ cellaring, this is terroir-driven brilliance screaming to join your stash. 95 Points – Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion.​
