In the late 1960s, the Venetian immigrant family Fratin planted the first vines on Mount Langi Ghiran, thus giving birth to the iconic ‘Langi’ Old Block Shiraz. In the 1980s they were lucky enough to meet the talented Trevor Mast, who raised the bar in terms of quality and longevity of the wines. A few years later Trevor and his wife Sandra acquired the property together with Ian Menzies. Trevor remained as head winemaker until 2006, even after the Rathbone family bought the property in 2002. The winery still produces one of Australia’s most distinctive wines, Langi Shiraz. The granite cliffs and sedimentary soils, the cold winds from the Southern Ocean and the historic winemaking heritage play a key role. ‘Langi’ is one of the last Shiraz vineyards in Australia. Mount Langi Ghiran is a certified member of Sustainable Winegrowing Australia (SWA).
