2012 Mount Langi Ghiran Mast Shiraz

This is the first release of a new label from Mount Langi Ghiran that pays homage to Trevor Mast. Each vintage an individual parcel of top fruit will be selected to make this wine. The 2012 ‘Mast’ Shiraz fruit was sourced from House Block 4 on the Langi property which possesses many similarities to its older sibling the ‘Langi’ Shiraz. This block was hand-picked with meticulous attention to taking only the best fruit, essentially vineyard sorting and the wine includes quite a considerable whole bunch maceration component which provides exceptional perfume, spice and delicate tannins. Maturation took place in French oak barriques of which 40% were new and 60% 1-2 years old for a period of 15 months.

A Superb tribute to Mount Langi Ghiran’s first winemaker – Trevor Mast
