Mount Langi Ghiran Billi Billi Shiraz 2023 14.0% 6x75cl

The 2021 Billi Billi Shiraz is an elegant Shiraz, a striking example of cool-climate Australian Shiraz from Victoria's Grampians region.

Colour:  In the glass, it shows a deep ruby hue.

Aromas:
The nose is expressive and layered, featuring rich aromas of ripe red and black fruits—think blackberry, black cherry, and plum—accented by spicy undertones, dark chocolate, coffee, and the hallmark black pepper that defines the region’s Shiraz. There’s a notable aromatic lift from green peppercorn and a touch of liquorice, adding further complexity

Palate: On the palate, the wine is elegant yet vibrant, with luscious flavours of blackberry, cherry, and rhubarb. The fruit is ripe and juicy, balanced by a sour, peppery edge and subtle notes of spice and mocha. Fine, crunchy tannins provide structure and a pleasing grip, while the finish is long, spicy, and persistent, echoing the wine’s peppery and aromatic character.

Structure: Medium- to full-bodied with well-integrated tannins, the Billi Billi Shiraz offers a harmonious balance between ripe fruit, spice, and freshness. Light oak influence supports the fruit without overpowering it, and the wine’s natural acidity ensures vibrancy and length.

Summary: A remarkably aromatic and peppery Shiraz, it is approachable now, yet complex, making it a versatile partner for rich dishes such as beef, lamb, or game, enjoy it now or cellar for added complexity over the next few years.
