Mount Langi Ghiran Cliff Edge Shiraz Grampians GI

Grampians GI, Australia

Second label Shiraz; younger vines from estate and Great Western sourced fruit. More approachable than Langi but showing the same cool-climate pepper and elegance at mid-range price. Black cherry, white pepper, violet, and fresh herbs. 12 months in French and American oak. Excellent value introduction to Grampians Shiraz.

Pairing intelligence

• main: Australian BBQ lamb with Victorian Shiraz; smoke and pepper in both wine and harissa create a resonant pairing
• main: Cliff Edge's pepper and dark cherry complement spiced Middle Eastern lamb; pomegranate bridges wine's acidity
• main: Cool-climate Shiraz's spice and dark fruit work beautifully with North African spiced lamb sausage
