Approaching Peak: drinkable, but best years are ahead.
Mount Langi Ghiran recommends cellaring the 2022 Talus Shiraz for 10 to 15 years. In 2026 it is still early in that producer-guided horizon, with the bottle's bright berry fruit, spice, pure acidity and elegant tannin likely to reward patient cellaring as well as a careful early look.

Tasting note
Mount Langi Ghiran's Talus 2022 is a 100% Shiraz from the Grampians in Victoria. The producer describes the wine as deep purple in the glass, with a nose that brings together cherries, fresh plums, mint, pepper, bright berry fruit and mixed spice. That combination reads as dark-fruited but lifted rather than heavy: ripe fruit sits alongside herbal and peppery detail, while the mint note gives the aromatics a cooler edge. On the palate, the producer points to a medium-to-full bodied shape balanced by pure acid and elegant tannins. Thyme and rosemary are named alongside concentrated berry fruit, reinforcing the savory-herbal side of the wine rather than reducing it to simple richness. The practical expectation is a Shiraz with fruit concentration, freshness and an ordered tannin structure, not one defined by sweetness or oak alone. The Talus name refers to the fragments that sit at the base of the 400-million-year-old granite massif behind the vineyard. Mount Langi Ghiran connects that setting to the wine's character, describing the bottling as an expression of vine, soil and mountain. Those details make the 2022 a useful bottle for a cellar that values regional Shiraz with both aromatic spice and the structure to develop over time.
The 2022 vintage
The producer describes 2022 as beginning with an almost perfect spring. After veraison, reduced sunshine created a more humid period, and birds alongside weak dry weather complicated ripening. The fruit continued to ripen slowly, leading to a later-than-usual harvest in early May. For Talus, Mount Langi Ghiran reports a 100% Shiraz wine with bright berry fruit, mixed spice, pure acidity and elegant tannin.
About Mount Langi Ghiran
Mount Langi Ghiran's Talus is named for the fragments at the base of the granite massif that rises behind the vineyard. The producer dates that mountain formation to 400 million years and frames Talus as a wine shaped by the relationship between vine, soil and mountain. For the 2022 release, that place is identified as the Grampians in Victoria and the variety is 100% Shiraz. The producer's own description emphasizes a site-informed expression rather than a generic regional blend: concentrated berry fruit and spice are paired with fresh acidity, herbal detail and elegant tannins. This page relies on the producer's 2022 Talus release information for the wine and vintage facts.
