Tasting notes

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. The finish lingers on a fruity and spicy note with typical chalky yet fine-grained tannins.

June 2019

A vibrant array of ripe raspberries with an elegant and focused palate that delivers plenty of zippy fruit flavor.

February 2020

From Lyndoch and Light Pass, the average vine age 70yo. The wine spent 19 months in used French oak, and I am surprised that the fruit flavours weren't confectionary/Turkish Delight.

October 2020

This has a light red-berry nose with fragrant and floral notes. The palate has raspberry and wild red-cherry flavours with fine, elegantly stated tannins. Fresh and long red-fruit finish.

November 2022 (Vintage 2020)

A rich and fruity grenache with aromas of strawberries, poached plums and hot chocolate. Full-bodied with ripe, silky tannins. Lots of weight here, with chocolate and spice notes to close.
