2017 The Fifth Wave Grenache
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.

Varietal
- Grenache
Colour
Light to medium depth crimson with purple hues.
Aroma
Dark cherry, raspberry and brambley spice mingle with hints of cedar wood and savoury tones add to the complexity.
Palate
Juicy red berries and dark cherries flow through the palate, melting into lovely and sweet briary spices. The finish lingers on a fruity and spicy note with typical chalky yet fine-grained tannins.
"These are wines of great historical significance, not to mention quality, and should occupy a lofty place in the pantheon of Australian wine."
Huon Hooke, The Real Review
