Wine Description
Langmeil is home to The Freedom Shiraz, believed to be planted in 1843 by vigneron Christian Auricht. Escaping war and persecution in Prussia, Auricht travelled to his new homeland, finding freedom in the Barossa Valley. The original plantings still survive and are some of the oldest and rarest vines in the world.
Rich, sweet fruit is balanced wonderfully with briary and sweet spices and lovely, silky tannins. A full-bodied, textural wine, showing great complexity with hints of cedar and allspice flowing through to the lengthy, brambly fruit 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.
