NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Mount Langi Ghiran Cliff Edge Shiraz is a remarkable wine that showcases the unique terroir of the Mount Langi Ghiran vineyard in Victoria, Australia.On the nose, the wine offers enticing aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and plums, accompanied by hints of black pepper, cloves, and a touch of vanilla. These aromas are beautifully integrated and provide a sense of depth and richness.
The palate is equally impressive, with a full-bodied and velvety texture that coats the mouth. The flavors of black fruits continue to dominate, accompanied by notes of dark chocolate, espresso, and a subtle earthiness. The wine displays a perfect balance between fruit, acidity, and tannins, resulting in a harmonious and long-lasting finish.

ORIGINS
Winery: Mount Langi Ghiran
Region: Victoria
Victoria is Australia's premier wine region, located in the south-eastern corner of the continent. With a long history of winemaking, Victoria is home to some of the country's most renowned wineries and vineyards.
Victoria's wine industry began due to the discovery of gold in the 1850s, leading to a influx of settlers from Europe, who brought vines and know-how from home. By 1890, Victoria was producing half of all the wine in Australia, but the spread of phylloxera in the late 19th Century and a number of wider issues, caused a decline. The industry didn't get started again until the 1960s.CUSTOMER RATING
