Now the site of our winery, the property in Langmeil village was originally settled by the Auricht family in 1842. Several generations later, working the mixed farm and vineyards became Selwin’s Lot in life.

Australia prides itself as a multicultural society, yet by the 1850s the Barossa was already that and more. On the one hand, was the British Gentry and on the other were the Prussian Lutheran emigrants. Both built in bluestone to stand the test of time and established enterprises fur future generations

Pioneering Barossa vigneron, Christian Auricht, settled LOT-36, Langmeil Village in 1842, the place he would call home for the rest of his life. This bold Shiraz Cabernet celebrates the quintessential Australian blend and is a great example of the complexity and harmony these noble varieties can achieve.

A  Barossa institution since 1858, the Kegelbahn is where Kegel, the German for skittle, and a bowling game with nine pins instead of ten, is played. Today’s players preserve the values of the game which are enjoyment, friendship and skill, all while sharing fine Barossa wine.
