What MOUNT LANGI GHIRAN does

Mount Langi Ghiran is a single-estate cool-climate winery operating 70 hectares of vineyard in the Grampians region of Victoria, Australia (Bayindeen, 80 Vine Road), privately owned by the Rathbone family and operated as a brand within Rathbone Wine Group alongside sister wineries Yering Station and Xanadu. The estate's 1969-planted Old Block Shiraz — featuring clonal material predating phylloxera in the Rhône — produces the flagship Langi Shiraz, which has maintained Langton's Classification 'Excellent' for over 20 consecutive years and consistently scores 97-98 points from leading critics. Viticulture leverages granite sands over sedimentary red clay loam at 350m elevation between Mount Langi Ghiran (922m) and Mount Cole (760m), yielding a Mean January Temperature of 18.35°C — colder than Launceston, Tasmania — making it among the last Shiraz vineyards picked in Australia each vintage.

The portfolio spans six wine ranges from entry-level Billi Billi ($20-$35) through Cliff Edge, Hollows, and Talus to the flagship Langi Shiraz ($1,320 per 6-pack), plus sparkling Blanc de Blancs and fortified Langi Port. Winemaking is deliberately traditional: whole berry fermentation in open-top fermenters, whole-bunch components, extended maceration, French barrique aging in 228L barrels, natural yeast fermentation, and hand harvesting. The business operates a multi-channel direct-to-consumer model: e-commerce online shop (Stripe-powered, $10 flat domestic delivery), Wine Club subscriptions with three tiered levels (Silver 12 bottles/year at 15% off, Gold 24 bottles at 20% off, Platinum 48 bottles at 25% off), cellar door tastings at three price points ($15/$35/$55), Café Langi (Fri-Mon), private and corporate event hire (up to 100 guests), and gift vouchers from $50 valid 36 months. Distribution extends to Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, UK, Japan, and Hong Kong.

Revenue is generated through wine sales (online, cellar door, wholesale), recurring wine club subscriptions, paid tasting experiences, event hire, café F&B, and gift voucher redemptions. The company is privately held by the Rathbone family (Darren Rathbone CEO & Winemaker; Doug Rathbone Chairman; Brad Rathbone Director of Exports in China) with no institutional investment, public listing, or external equity identified. Leadership comprises Chief Winemaker Adam Louder (32 harvests experience, appointed 2018, trained under founder Trevor Mast), General Manager & Viticulturist Damien Sheehan (25+ years tenure), and Winemaker Liz Ladhams. The company is Sustainable Winegrowing Australia certified (since 2017) and an Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation member (since 2011), and has been recognized in Halliday Wine Companion's Top 5 Red Star Winery category for 2023, 2024, and 2025.
