The old vines for this single vineyard dry Riesling wine are planted on a unique Eden Valley property affectionately known as Wattle Brae for the native trees that surround it.  It is one of Langmeil's cherished estate vineyards dedicated to capturing the best of region and variety.

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.

Jackaman’s vineyard is home to Langmeil’s finest and rarest Cabernet Sauvignon, planted in the 1960s during the Cabernet revolution in the Barossa. This vineyard was lovingly tended by the colourful Barossan Arthur Jackaman, a World War II paratrooper, boxer and butcher who in retirement passed his small plot into Langmeil’s care.

Orphan Bank is testament to Langmeil’s commitment to preserving old and rare Barossa vineyards. Ten rows of Shiraz planted pre-1860 were saved from the developer’s bulldozer and replanted alongside the original Langmeil vineyard on the banks of the North Para River. We called these ten rows the “Orphans”, but after 150 years they have a new home.

Pure Eden is a single site wine, made from an Eden Valley vineyard planted by Charles Angas in the 1890s.  Later owned by the Shiltons  1911  -1926;  Meakins 1926-1929; Roeslers 1929-1961;  Andretzkes  1961-2011  and  now  the  Lindner  family.  This  wine  is  a  reward  of  these guardians’ efforts for more than one hundred years.

Langmeil Winery is home to The Freedom 1843 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.

This wine is a tribute to patience and persistence while celebrating Shiraz’s pedigree as a classic grape variety. Shiraz’s Lineage dates to Roman times, but the Barossa’s journey with Shiraz began in the 1840s. Professor Johannes Menge advised the Prussian migrants with incisive foresight that viticulture had great potential to thrive in ‘New Silesia’.
