2014 The Freedom 1843 Shiraz - LAST BOTTLES
Langmeil is home to The Freedom Shiraz, believed to be planted in 1843 by vigneron Christian Auricht. Escaping war and persecution in Prussia, Auricht travelled to his new homeland, finding freedom in the Barossa Valley. The original plantings still survive and are some of the oldest and rarest vines in the world.

Varietal
- Shiraz
Colour
Deep crimson with purple hues.
Aroma
An intense aroma of ripe Satsuma plum, mocha and cookie dough, mingle with hints of cedar, violets and sweet spice.
Palate
Rich, sweet fruit is balanced wonderfully with briary and sweet spice and lovely, silky tannins. A medium to full bodied, textured wine showing great complexity with hints of cedar and biscuit and in combination, flows through to the lengthy, fruitful and spicy finish.
"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
