Langmeil Wine Store

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.

Many in Barossa have a Yabby Tale of jumping fences in muddy boots, sometimes hiding in hedges while dodging shotgun blasts! Times have changed, but we still laugh with family and friends, a glass of white in hand, feasting on the legendary freshwater treat, the Cherax Destructor.

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.

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 for these guardians’ efforts for more than one hundred years.

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.

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’.

Massimo Baraglia left Italy in 1929, seeking a new life for his family. Ten years later, he was reunited with his wife, Maria, and their two children when they settled in the Barossa. They maintained their traditions, growing grapes, making wine, salami and cheese as their descendants do to this day.

The Barossa is famous for its viticulture, history and winemaking dating back to the 1840s. At its heart is the Valley Floor, a highly prized strip of viticultural land which is the very foundation and forms the essence of this wine. A true taste of the Barossa.

The Live Wire represents an energetic evolution of the traditional Riesling style introduced by our migrant ancestors in the 1840s. From the renowned Barossa region, it is finely balanced with upfront fruit and a tangy crispness on the finish. Vivacious and perfectly refreshing.

While the Barossa is renowned for its German heritage, there is an important Italian influence too. When the Della Mina family emigrated to South Australia from Italy in the 1930s, they were joined in marriage to the Lindner family; an enduring bond was forged based on a mutual love of family, farming, food and wine.

The Barossa has garnered a Legendary reputation for the exceptional quality of its red wines from some of the world’s oldest vineyards. They were planted in the 1840s and are still cultivated by descendants of the original settlers.
