Region: Barossa Valley, Australia

Grape Variety: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon 

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: Deep crimson with purple hues. Lifted blackcurrant and blueberry aromas entwine with biscuity French oak, hints of liquorice and savoury, black olive notes. 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.

Food Pairing: This Cabernet Sauvignon is paired well with dishes that contain beef, lamb and poultry.
