Langmeil Wine Store

The Barossa is blessed with one of the most diverse and unique landscapes of any fine wine region in the world. It is this Hallowed Ground which is fundamental to the Barossa’s premium pedigree and rarefied reputation for grape growing and winemaking of the highest quality.

The 1980s were truly tough times in the Barossa. Demand was down, and vines were being grubbed up. In 1985 Carl Lindner was unable to sell his premium Shiraz grapes, which he knew were far too good to let wither on the vine. Instead, he made a fortified wine and left it to mature in French oak puncheons, establishing a practice that continues to this day.Those difficult days combined with Carl’s foresight and inventiveness have laid the foundation for this truly unique wine.
