Region: Australia, Barossa Valley

Grape variety: Shiraz (96%) & Viognier (4%)

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: Medium depth crimson with purple hues. A rich and lifted bouquet of violet and raspberry jump out of the glass with hints of musk lolly, pepper and herbal notes adding to the complexity. Ripe and juicy berries flow onto the medium-bodied palate with soft and velvety tannins adding structure and texture to the wine while sweet and briary spice balances the juicy fruit through the finish.
