Langton’s Selections Viking Wines Grand Shiraz, Viking Wines Odin’s Honour Reserve Shiraz Viking Wines was established in 1995 by Swedish born Tord & Charmaine Soderstrom. The 20 acre vineyard, comprising 15 acres of Shiraz and five acres Cabernet Sauvignon, is organically dry grown and was planted during the 1950s. At one stage the Shiraz fruit was earmarked for Penfolds Grange. The vineyard is located at Marananga and planted on friable red-clay soils. The wines are all buoyant Barossa styles with chocolaty tannins and plenty of richness of flavour. The Grand Shiraz, Ironstone Cabernet Sauvignon and Royal Reserve Shiraz are the main stock in-trade. The Odin’s Honour range derived from Marananga and Greenock vineyards are full bodied Shiraz or Shiraz blends. The wines have a presence on the secondary wine market. Although they are regarded as cult-type wines, they still represent good value. Andrew Caillard MW, Langton's
