Known for its iconic Shiraz grape varietal, Mount Langi Ghiran is regarded as one of the finest cool-climate wines of Australia. The land came to be known for its premium quality of Shiraz, during 1970, when the Fratin brothers from Italy (Don, Lino and Serge) planted their first vines on Mount Langi Ghiran. In the subsequent years, separate blocks were allocated in this vineyard for other varietals too.
The Fratins joined hands with wine expert and consultant, Trevor Mast, to create their first ever vintage brand of wine in 1981 and there was no looking back, as they would say. Throughout the next few decades, Mount Langi Ghiran Wines continued making iconic and classic wines that went to on to get many international awards. Trevor, who had purchased Mount Langi Ghiran during the 1980s, sold it to the Rathbone Family during 2002. He remained the head winemaker here, until he passed away in 2012, leaving a rich wine legacy behind him.
