Region: Australia, 88.1% Barossa Valley & 11.9% Eden Valley

Grape variety: Shiraz

Background: The Barossa is famous for its viticulture, history and winemaking dating back to the 1840s. At its heart is the Valley Floor, a highly-prized strip of prime viticultural land which is the very foundation and forms the essence of this wine. A true taste of the Barossa. Local knowledge has helped us select and secure prized Shiraz across the breadth and depth of the Barossa while retaining the foundation fruit from the Valley Floor. The combination of hands-on winemaking and vineyard diversity results in pure Barossa Shiraz. This is why the Valley Floor Shiraz has received the Barossa Trust Mark. 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.

Aging: 17% new American oak, 83% old American and French oak hogsheads. Twenty four months spent in oak.

Tasting notes: Medium to deep crimson with purple hues. A rich and lifted aroma of Satsuma plum and mulberry mingle with sweet spice, chocolate hints and savoury tones. Rich, sweet and spicy fruit in balance with velvety yet youthfully austere tannins. A complex, medium to full bodied wine showing hints of mocha and vanilla, which flow through to the lengthy, fruitful, pepper and spice finish.

Food pairing: Stir Fried Beef with Basil, American style slow cooked ribs, Sunday roast, Aged cheddar cheese.
