Mount Langi, Ghiran Talus Shiraz 2019

The Talus range celebrates the natural abundance of Mount Langi Ghiran itself by capturing the power and purity from this cool climate Grampians vineyard. Talus is a geological term referring to the accumulation of freed granitic rock fragments at the base of steep mountain slopes, known as a talus slope. Tending and keeping the vines under its watchful gaze, these wines are an ode to the majesty of Mount Langi Ghiran and our intimate knowledge of mountain, vine and soil. Showcasing the strength of the mountain through precise cool climate wines, Talus is quintessentially Mount Langi Ghiran.

Darren’s love of wine started at home, growing up in a family that enjoyed coming together around wine and food – it was always part of the Rathbone’s family meals.

In 1995 upon Darren’s graduation from Chemical Engineering, his father Doug Rathbone and uncle Graeme Rathbone purchased a vineyard site in the Yarra Valley – now Yering Station. Darren’s first job was planting vines in this vineyard, which was named in honour of their grandmother, Laura Barnes. Doug noted Darren’s enthusiasm, believing it was “too big to be a hobby, too small to be a business” in its then-current guise. This was the turning point where an enjoyment of drinking wine became a passionate career.
