Langmeil Blockbuster Shiraz 2019
Country/Region of Origin: Australia

Region: Australia, Barossa Valley

Grape variety: Shiraz

Background: Langmeil’s history dates back to 1842 and the winery now draws on Barossa’s cultural beginnings and combines it with world-class winemaking. Its flagship, Freedom Shiraz, comes from what is believed to be the oldest Shiraz vines in the world, dating back to 1843. Old Barossan vines are a trademark of the winery, as are Chief Winemaker, Paul Lindner’s minimal intervention techniques.

Tasting notes: It is rich and full, velvety and seamless, with impeccably bright fruit, plum, mulberry and raspberry that layers the rich palate. There is also some gentle spice, and the oak effortlessly rounds out the wine. This will develop beautifully over the next few years.
