Although the climate at Mount Langi Ghiran is marginal for grape growing, the spectacular setting creates a unique environment, ideal for producing cool climate wines of distinctive character. The vineyards are situated at the base of the 540 metre cliff face of Mount Langi Ghiran, at an elevation of 350 metres above sea level. Approximately 3km opposite is the equally majestic Mount Cole. The two mountains create a cooling effect as cold air tumbles down the montians and flows through the valley at night. During Autumn, the shadow thrown by the montain shortens and effective sunshine hours, creating perfect conditions for an extended ripening period. 

As a consequence, the grapes retain excellent acid levels and slow berry delelopment produces the intense fruit flavours for which the Langi wines are known. In fact, due to the temperature, Mount Langi Ghiran is always among the last vineyards to be picked in Australia. With a Mean January Temperature (MJT) of 18.35 degrees C, Langi is colder than Launceston in Tasmania, which has MJT of 20.4 degrees C.
