Langi has an unusual soil profile that is rarely found elsewhere in Victoria and indeed Australia. As Mount Langi Ghiran is an isolated geological feature, the rock has eroded over time providing a granite topsoil layer in the vineyard. This sits on top of red clay loams and provides further complexity in the fruit.
Although unusual in Australia, centuries of selection for Shiraz cuttings in the Rhone Valley have led to some condiderable synergies between granitic soils and this superb variety. Thus the soils at Mount Langi Ghiran create wines with character and distinction, which resonates with the wines grown on granite in the Old World.
