The old vines for this single vineyard dry Riesling wine are planted on a unique Eden Valley property affectionately known as Wattle Brae for the native trees that resided there upon early settlement.  Today it is a cherished Langmeil-owned vineyard dedicated to bringing the best out of variety and region.

Chardonnay is one of the most highly prized white varieties in the world. In a diverse region like the Barossa, we have chosen to take the High Road to Eden Valley, Barossa’s high country and premium cool-climate district, to capture the very best of flavour and texture that Chardonnay has to offer.

Old Barossa vignerons referred to their vineyards as gardens.

Grenache has long been held in high esteem by Barossa winemakers. Despite being criminally overlooked elsewhere due to a workhorse history, it has hidden depths and excellent potential. Like a Rough Diamond which is quite ordinary at first glance, its real beauty as a jewel is only revealed through the cutting and polishing process.

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

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 a feature of  the winery’s heritage setting.

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 prime viticultural land which is the very foundation and forms the essence of this wine. A true taste of the Barossa.
 

The Fifth Wave is Langmeil’s most treasured Old Vine Garden Grenache and is dedicated to the fifth generation of the Lindner family. Planted  in the last century, The Fifth Wave is our ‘call to arms’ to preserve, promote and protect the best of the Barossa.

Jackaman’s vineyard is home to Langmeil’s finest and rarest Cabernet Sauvignon, planted in the 1960s during the Cabernet revolution in the Barossa. This vineyard was lovingly tended by the colourful Barossan Arthur Jackaman, a World War II paratrooper, boxer and butcher who in retirement passed his small plot into Langmeil’s care.

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 River Para. We called these ten rows the “Orphans” but after 150 years they have a new home.

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  of  these guardians’ efforts over a hundred years.

Langmeil Winery is home to The Freedom 1843 Shiraz, believed to be planted by vigneron Christian Auricht in 1843. 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.

From it's birth in the 1840's, the Barossa grew and flourished on the foundation of fortified wines. This 25-year-old Liqueur Tawny is a legacy of that time and testament to the knowledge and foresight of generations past.
