2005 'THE FREEDOM' SHIRAZ

The Auricht family planted the first vineyard at Langmeil in the mid 1840s and a few acres still remain. These dry grown, hand picked, hand pruned old vines yield less than 2 tonnes per acre, thereby producing fruit with extreme intensity of colour and flavour.

Please note there is a 6 bottle limit per customer on this wine.

2006 'VALLEY FLOOR'

SHIRAZ

This wine is a classic example of honest traditional Barossa Shiraz. Ripe, rich plummy and dark cherry fruit with earthy tones and hints of spice, it displays fine toasty oak tannins resulting in a medium to full-bodied wine with an exquisite soft dry finish.

2006 'THE BLACKSMITH'

CABERNET SAUVIGNON

Whilst the Barossa is synonymous with full-bodied Shiraz, its Cabernet Sauvignon equally can produce wines of intense flavour and body. This is such a wine with a full middle palate, showing good varietal Cabernet character, superbly structured and displaying fine tannins. This wine may be enjoyed now but will develop further in the bottle for at least another ten years.

2006 'THREE GARDENS'

SHIRAZ, GRENACHE, MOURVÈDRE

This delicious wine draws its name from the old Barossa Vignerons word for vineyard. Three Gardens were chosen for their distinct Barossa style and complementary characteristics. The blend of Shiraz (48%), Grenache (42%), and Mourvèdre (10%) shows good balance and intergrated structure. It has full, ripe fruit, supported by firm but fine tannins. The overall flavours are cherries and blackberries, with hints of cloves and cinnamon. Enjoy over the next five years or so.

20 YEAR OLD

          LIQUEUR SHIRAZ TAWNY

The 1980s were hard times in the Barossa. Demand was down and vines were being pulled. In 1985 Carl Lindner couldn't sell his premium shiraz crop. It was too good to waste so he fortified it and put it into French oak puncheons. Those hard times and Carl's foresight have resulted in this truly unique wine. A drop to treasure.

Only the finest fruit combined with traditional winemaking methods have produced this excellent Liqueur Shiraz Tawny Port. Displaying toffee honey characters, this 1985 vintage is an ideal accompaniment to chocolate.

2004 WINTER HARVEST SEMILLON

Sold Out

A small patch (just under an acre) of Semillon vines on the banks of the Para River were left hanging until mid June to produce this luscious, slippery wine style. 

Slightly infected by the Botrytis Cinerea fungus which, in the case of dessert wines, is highly favourable, the concentrated sweetness and increased viscosity have produced a luxurious, sensual, lip smackingly salubrious Semillon.
