Mount Langi Ghiran Riesling

Notes - The vineyards of Mount Langi Ghiran are nestled between two dramatically beautiful mountain ranges on the southern edge of the Great Dividing Range in Western Victoria, 180 km west of Melbourne. Pronounced "Mount Langee Jeeran", the name is Aboriginal for "Home of the Yellow-Tailed Black Cockatoo". The initial vineyards were planted by the Fratin brothers in 1963, on the site of a vineyard that had been in operation at the turn of the century. Their first plantings were Shiraz, and initially, the grapes were sold to neighbouring winemakers. The exceptionally high quality of their fruit quickly drew a strong following and encouraged the Fratins to begin making their own wine. Uplifted lemon / citrus aromas and a flinty, dry palate with excellent balance and a long, clean finish. A perfectly refreshing glass of wine by itself but will also complement fish, chicken or salad dishes. Excellent with oysters, carpaccio of yellow tail tuna drizzled with olive oil or mixed sashimi. Drinking now but will age gracefully for up to 10 years.
