Mount Langi Ghiran - Adam Lauder

Author: DKPS Media April 17, 2024 Duration: 24:43
Established in the 1960s by the Fratin family, Mount Langi Ghiran is a pioneer in cool-climate Shiraz, located in the remote and rugged Grampian region of Southeastern Australia. Originating from a pre-phylloxera Shiraz clone from the Northern Rhône, the vineyard's early roots were nurtured by viticulturist and winemaker Trevor Mast, who assumed winemaking duties in the 1980s. Today, the second generation of the Rathbone family continues Mount Langi Ghiran’s legacy as family-owned, crafting wines that exemplify the best of both place and vintage. Nestled in a north-south valley sheltered from the afternoon sun and cooled by icy winds from the Southern Ocean, the estate features towering granite cliffs and loamy red soils. The unique setting results in an extended ripening season, making it one of the last vineyards harvested in Australia. An optimal environment for cool climate Shiraz, Mount Langi Ghiran is celebrated for its diverse fruit flavors, aromas, elegance, vibrancy, and subtle notes of pepper. The winemaking legacy, initiated by Trevor Mast in the 1980s and 1990s, has evolved under the stewardship of Adam Louder, a Grampian local raised just three miles from the winery. Working closely with viticulturist Damien Sheehan, who has tended these vines for over 25 years, Adam aims to capture the best of both site and season each vintage, solidifying Mount Langi Ghiran's reputation as a benchmark for cool-climate Australian Shiraz. With 25 years of vineyard oversight, General Manager and Viticulturist Damien Sheehan brings a holistic approach to ensure each vine performs at its best. His deep love for the Mount Langi Ghiran property and dedication to its legacy inspire ongoing enhancements in quality, vine health, and sustainability. Aligned with Sustainable Winegrowing Australia, the winery passionately promotes biodiversity and strives to minimize its environmental impact. Today, Mount Langi Ghiran stands as a symbol of excellence, rooted in a rich history and a commitment to crafting wines that embody the essence of its remarkable terroir in this special corner of the world. 

The familiar, intimate format of Wine Soundtrack finds a new home down under. This Australian iteration of the popular Italian podcast, produced by DKPS Media, transplants a simple but powerful concept: a conversation built around thirty questions. Each episode is a quiet, focused visit with a wine producer, where the structured interview peels back the layers of a winery's identity. You won't just hear about grape varieties or harvest techniques, though those details naturally emerge. The core of the podcast is the personal narrative-the origins of a family estate, the philosophy guiding the cellar, the specific challenges and triumphs of crafting wine in Australian soil. It’s designed to move beyond a simple review or tasting note, aiming instead to capture the voice of the people behind the label. Listeners become privy to the candid reflections, the aspirations, and the very human stories that are bottled alongside the Shiraz or Semillon. The format creates a consistent, revealing rhythm, allowing for deep comparison between different makers and regions across Australia. For anyone curious about the character and drive that defines a vineyard, this series offers a direct line to the source, framing the entire world of wine through the lens of personal history and passion. It’s a podcast for those who believe the best stories are often told over a glass, or in this case, through a microphone.
