The Fifth Wave is Langmeil’s most treasured Old Vine Garden Grenache and is dedicated to the fifth generation of the Lindner family. The vineyard was planted in 1973 and serves as a call to arms, to preserve, promote and protect the best of the Barossa as well as an oft overlooked variety. Juicy red berries and dark cherries flow through the palate, with the soft, sweet fruit balancing with pepper and briary spices.
