Wine Advocate on LANGMEIL

From top to bottom, Langmeil—run by brothers Paul (winemaking) and James (sales and marketing) Lindner—is hitting on all cylinders…, Hangin' Snakes, Three Gardens and Offspring, represent great values, while even the very top-end stuff, The Freedom 1843 and Pure Eden Shirazes, are reasonably priced in the context of old-vine, cellar-worthy Barossa reds. These are big, bold wines that don't skimp on flavor or texture yet show a remarkable amount of elegance and nuance.

Wine Advocate, September 2022

There's a distinct style happening at Langmeil—the fruit is supple and polished, always. This 2019 Orphan Bank Shiraz is littered with bright summer raspberries and exotic spice and shaped by sophisticated tannins. This is a beautiful wine. Concentrated and lush, it will live.

James Halliday (Australian Wine Companion), August 2024

Shiraz sourced from a gnarled old patch of 177-year-old vines at the Langmeil estate in Tanunda; 26 months in French oak. A great release of the Freedom from the strong 2021 vintage. Deeply coloured with superb depth of fruit, concentration, texture and balance. Deeply resonant blackberry and dark plum fruits, packed with layers of spice, licorice, dark chocolate, roasting meats and earth. It's got a wonderful flow on the palate. Rich and elegant with a real sense of latent power, compact tannins and a finish that shows great persistence and carry. A good bet for the cellar.

James Halliday (Australian Wine Companion), August 2024

A single-site wine made from an Eden Valley vineyard planted by Charles Angas in the 1890s. Such a lovely wine. Detailed black and blue fruits with hints of cedar, sage, tea leaves, licorice, roasting meats, mountain herbs, layers of spice, pressed flowers, olive tapenade and earth. Excellent focus, pure fruit and length of flavour set against a ripe, fine tannin backdrop with a fresh seam of acidity propelling things along nicely.

James Halliday (Australian Wine Companion), August 2024

The big gun from Langmeil, this year 57% Freedom Vineyard (planted 1843) and 43% Pure Eden (planted in the 1890s). It's a deeply coloured, rich and concentrated release; fruit the essence of blackberry and plum with higher tones of blueberry and boysenberry. Deep layers of baking spice, panforte, dark chocolate, roasting meats, cedar and cocoa powder lie beneath the opulent fruit profile. Full bodied with impressive fruit depth (thank you, ancient vines) and power while retaining a sense of detail and elegance, quite often no mean feat. Oak, tannin, fruit and acidity all pull in the same direction and in harmony, with a finish that lingers persistently. Impressive stuff.

Wine Advocate, April 2023

The 2019 Jackaman's Cabernet Sauvignon was matured for almost two years in French oak, yet the wine is not overwhelmed by oaky characters. It is, make no mistake, defined by the shape of the oak; however, if anything, the time in wood has softened the tannins and made for an all-round silky drinking experience. Mulberries, blackberries and cassis in profusion forgive the exuberance of the oak and allow the wine to stride through the finish. Some additional years in the bottle will further ameliorate this oak—the fruit has got the requisite power. Very good.

James Suckling, November 2022

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.
