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 flavour and texture that Chardonnay has to offer.

Langmeil Winery is home to The Freedom 1843 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.

Once a neglected Old Vine Garden in Lyndoch, The Fifth Wave vineyard was rejuvenated by Langmeil and in 1999 winemaker Paul Lindner saw the potential of the Grenache from this unique vineyard and with tenacity convinced the owners to produce a straight varietal, in all likelihood the first time Grenache from this time honoured Old Vine Garden had been truly prized.

Commissioned by George Fife Angas in 1836, German geologist, Johann Menge, made extensive inspections of New Silesia, now better known as the Barossa. Having surveyed the region, he wrote a prophetic letter to his employer reporting that “your land is and will prove the kernel of this province.”

If there is one wine made in this world to which Australia can lay claim, it is Sparkling Shiraz. This style of wine first appeared in South Australia in 1888. More than a century later it is now regarded as a symbol of the Barossa. It’s in our blood!

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.

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 Sauvignon itself derives frm 'sauvage', the French for wild.

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’.

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.

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.

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 for more than one hundred years.

Scorched bay leaf, roasted meat, espresso—the 2017 Pure Eden Shiraz is the most savory of the vintages I've had the chance to taste. It's medium to full-bodied but firmly structured, almost corseted, if you will, into a tight sheath of firm tannins that turn dusty on the lingering finish. It's concentrated and complex but far from charming. Give it at least a few more years of cellaring.

A  Barossa institution since 1858, the Kegelbahn is where Kegel, the German for skittle, and a bowling game with nine pins instead of ten, is played. Today’s players preserve the values of the game which are enjoyment, friendship and skill, all while sharing fine Barossa 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 to this day and is a feature of the winery’s heritage setting.

Hidden under the Monastrell and Mourvèdre aliases, Mataro has too often been relegated to the rank of a ‘blend only’ grape. The time for a Resurrection is upon us. Driven by a new generation of Barossa winemakers, Mataro is now taking its rightful place as a variety of regional significance.

Deep colour; rich ripe and concentrated aromas of dark plums and a faint whiff of eucalyptus/mint, dark chocolate and subtle toasty oak too. It's full bodied and rich, with a fleshy core and satisfying weight and mouth-feel. A generous, full-bodied red that will richly reward a few years in the cellar. Great value, too. Huon Hooke 93 points

Old Barossa vignerons referred to their vineyards as gardens. The Three Gardens is a contemporary blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro, varieties which have been grown in the Barossa since the 1840s. The best characteristics of each variety have been combined to create a truly harmonious wine.

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.

'Deep-ish red with a tint of purple and a subtle bouquet in which dried meat and a whisper of dried fruits figure, the palate is medium bodied and savoury, drying and yet soft textured. There's a nice touch of fruit sweetness at the core. A good and credible rendition of the grape varieties.' Huon Hooke 

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.

Old Barossa vignerons referred to their vineyards as gardens. The Three Gardens is a contemporary blend of Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne – varieties which, while new to the Barossa, show great promise. The best characteristics of each variety have been combined to create a truly harmonious wine. 

Many people choose this vibrant style of wine for their drinking pleasure during the warmer summer months.  Bella Rouge, Italian for “beautiful” and French for “red” respectively, takes its inspiration from these two traditional wine cultures, to make a refreshing rosé wine perfect for al fresco dining with family and friends.

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!

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.

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

Johanne Pfeiffer and Christian Auricht sought a new life in the Barossa, where they married and raised a family.  They  bought their traditions with them, including brides wearing black dresses on their wedding day. Sadly, Johanne was widowed in 1860, and this wine is named Black Widow in her honour.

Deep purple, the 29% Mourvèdre, 29% Petite Sirah, 15% Shiraz, 14% Carignan, 11% Counoise, and 2% Cinsault deliver a medium-bodied palate of juicy raspberry and boysenberry balanced by sweet and peppery spices and youthful, firm yet velvety tannins. Wine writer Gary Walsh awarded it 93 points, saying, 'So lively, all crushed black fruit, some raspberry, dried herb, plenty of stony tannins, juicy, sweet and a little savoury at once.' Black velvet with that slow southern style, if you please.

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.
