Talus Shiraz 2017

Our vineyard lies peacefully nestled in the arms of its namesake, the 400-million-year-old granite massif; Mount Langi Ghiran. Over time, the forces of Mother Nature have cast rock fragments to the base of the mountain creating a formation we know as Talus. The Talus range is an expression of the unique soils at Mount Langi Ghiran, reflecting our intimate knowledge of vine, soil and mountain. The 2017 Talus Shiraz showcases a distinctive minerality with silky tannins and pure fruit that combine to create a divine balance of power and elegance.

TASTING NOTE

Colour: Vibrant, dense crimson with a purple hue.

Nose: Powerful and intricate with lavish black fruits and earthy undertones with an abundance of pepper and five spice, heightened with perfumes of red and blue florals.

Palate: Elegant and poised, yet commanding. Deeply layered with inky black and red fruits, dark chocolate, aniseed/pepper/spices and fragrant violet perfumes. Full bodied with an earthy richness that cradles new oak complexity, underpinned by supple tannins. Continually evolving as time passes, effortlessly flowing with purity and definition.

Cellar: Drink now until 2032.

Talus Riesling

Talus Riesling is selectively hand harvested from our Langi Old Block Riesling vines planted in 1975 at Mount Langi
Ghiran. The site’s cool climate, together with granite sands and minimal irrigation, delivers grapes with purity, intensity
and a naturally high acidity.

WINEMAKING NOTE
Hand-picked and whole bunch pressed to two stainless steel tanks. The juice was then cold settled and racked with a small proportion of fluffy lees.
Each of the two parcels are left on gross-lees for a period of four months to further build complexity and mouthfeel around the definitive ‘Langi’ acidity. The
wine was then racked, blended and bottled in early July.

Alcohol 12.5% Residual Sugar 0g/l pH 3.13 TA 7.9 g/l

TASTING NOTE
Colour: Light, bright pale straw, green hues.
Nose: Orange blossom, dried ginger and mixed citrus
peel.
Palate: Sitting in the orange citrus spectrum, mandarin
and tangerine framed with florals and ginger spice. A
beautiful natural acidity along with a distinct minerality
provide the palate with texture and length. A wine that
has clarity, purity and shows our site well.
Cellar: Drink now until 2040.
