Product notes
Langmeil Winery is home to The Freedom Shiraz, believed to be planted in 1843 by vigneron Christian Auricht. Escaping war and persecution in Prussia, Auricht travelled to his new homeland, finding freedom in the Barossa Valley. The original plantings still survive and are some of the oldest and rarest vines in the world. The vineyard is composed of dark, rich loam to red clay over ironstone and limestone.
Production notes
A delayed harvest allowed grapes to ripen more slowly and evenly with a gradual accumulation of sugars and flavours. Aging took place over 24 months in 44% new and 56% seasoned French oak hogsheads and barriques.
Tasting notes
Rich, sweet fruit is balanced wonderfully with briary and sweet spices and lovely, silky tannins. A full-bodied, textural wine, showing great complexity with hints of cedar and allspice flowing through to the lengthy, brambly fruit finish.
