Adelaide Hills
PLLW
Region: Australia, Adelaide Hills
Grape variety: Semillon, Muscat, Gewurztraminer & Pinot Gris
Tasting notes: A wacky blend of Semillon, Muscat, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris. Refreshingly low in alcohol, but not in taste.
Aromas of citrus and hints of peach, floral notes and an aromatic lifted spiciness. It has excellent structure, with a lemon tinged backbone and a soft zesty mouth full of crunchy fruit.

Grape variety: Grenache
Background: The Fifth Wave is Langmeil’s most treasured Old Vine Garden Grenache and is dedicated to the fifth generation of the Lindner family. Planted in the middle of last century, The Fifth Wave is our ‘call to arms’ to preserve, promote and protect the best of the Barossa. The Lindner family of Langmeil Winery has been immersed in the Barossa’s culture of farming, food, wine and community for six generations. Their commitment to quality in all aspects is unwavering and any wine that bears the Langmeil name represents the family’s pursuit of excellence in wine and community.
Tasting notes: This generous, full-bodied Grenache demonstrates the full potential of the variety in the Barossa, with rich red cherry, milk chocolate and white pepper flavours, a lusciously proportioned yet superbly detailed palate, and a vibrantly mineral finish. Light to medium depth crimson. Dark cherry and raspberry fruits mingle with sweet and white pepper spice and hints of vanilla add to the complexity. Ripe, red berry and dark cherry flows ontot he palate, melding into lovely sweet and briary spice. The finish lingers on a fruitful and spicy note with typical chalky yet fine tannins.
Food pairing: Slow cooked lamb shanks, crispy skin salmon, roast pork or duck, dark chocolate.
