Mount Langi Ghiran Langi Shiraz

Grampians, Australia

Australia's most celebrated peppery cool-climate Shiraz — the Grampians volcanic basalt and altitude produce a wine completely unlike Barossa or McLaren Vale. Intense white and black pepper, dark plum, violets, olive, and iron minerality with a long, fresh finish. Rhône-like in style, uniquely Australian in character.

Pairing intelligence

• main: The wine's signature pepper character finds direct resonance in the peppercorn sauce; duck fat is structured by the Shiraz's tannins; red cabbage bridges the wine's fruit
• main: Australia's most distinctive protein and its most distinctive Shiraz — kangaroo's leanness needs the wine's structure; bush tomato's earthiness mirrors the volcanic mineral character
