George Fife Angas personally chartered ships to bring Prussian migrants to South Australia. Led by Pastor Kavel, an Altruist who displayed selfless concern for his flock, they founded Langmeil village. Inspired by them, we have made this wine to help like-minded organisations give back to their communities.
Cabernet Sauvignon’s origins reveal it was the Wild Child of two similar sounding grapes after a chance crossing in the seventeenth century. Growers suspected this due to the shared characters with both Franc and Blanc. Moreover, the name Sauvignon itself derives from ‘sauvage’, the French for wild.
In 1842 a 32-year-old Blacksmith, Christian Auricht, arrived from Prussia with his wife and four children. He settled in the new village of Langmeil and established a forge in what was to become a thriving trading post. His original smithy remains to this day and is a feature of the winery’s heritage setting.
