2010 MOUNT LANGI GHIRAN Langi Shiraz AWS
2010 MOUNT LANGI GHIRAN Langi Shiraz Winemaker Comments A dry, warm summer with a cooler January/February led to a long ripening period and excellent grape maturity. Fruit is meticulously hand selected from our old vines letting the best grapes to be separated. This leaves a considerable amount of fruit on the vine and excludes shrivelled and green fruit. Moreover, this process responds to the natural variation within the vineyard block caused by aspect and exposure to wind and sunlight. The wine includes a whole bunch maceration component, building on the perfume and delicate aromatics. The 2010 Langi Shiraz is showing terrific intensity, fruit flavours, complex spice and balanced tannins, with an excellent balance of finesse and depth.
