Wine Description
In 1842 a 32-year-old Blacksmith, Christian Auricht, arrived from Prussia with his wife and four children. He settled in the new village of Langmeil and established a forge in what was to become a thriving trading post. His original smithy remains to this day and is a feature of the winery’s heritage setting.
Bright and rich berry fruits coat the palate and combine with with brambly spice, hints of black olive and liquorice. Full-bodied with velvety, fine-grained tannins adding to the structure which flows through the long, fruity and spicy finish.

Winemaker's Bio
Langmeil’s family winemaker, Paul Lindner, is a sixth generation of the Barossa’s Lindner family, and a third generation Australian-Italian, which may explain his love for making wine.
Paul’s passion for winemaking has always been to combine old world and new world with minimal handling and intervention, to ensure the fruit’s full potential is captured. By keeping true to each variety, and the subtleties derived from the different soils of individual vineyard sites throughout the region, Paul feels he can capture the true taste of Barossa.
