Wine Description
Jackaman’s vineyard is home to Langmeil’s finest and rarest Cabernet Sauvignon, planted in the 1960s during the Cabernet revolution in the Barossa. This vineyard was lovingly tended by the colourful Barossan Arthur Jackaman, a World War II paratrooper, boxer and butcher who in retirement passed his small plot into Langmeil’s care.
Bright, juicy and rich blue fruits flow onto the palate which is medium to full-bodied. Briary spice, black olive and cedary hints add to the mix with a touch of new oak sweetness and silky tannins to add complexity to the fruity and velvety 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.
