Langmeil The Freedom 1843 Shiraz 2013

The history of Langmeil Winery goes back to the settling days of the Barossa Valley, when German blacksmith, Christian Auricht, planted his first acre of Shiraz vines on the estate in 1843. This pocket of Shiraz is now considered to be among the oldest-known surviving pre-phylloxera Shiraz vineyards in the world, with fruit going into Langmeil’s single vineyard, old vine flagship wine, The Freedom Shiraz.

Under the guardianship of the Lindner family since 2011, Richard and Shirley Lindner have taken their cues from the winery's founder and made Langmeil a family affair, with sons Paul taking over as winemaker and James heading up the sales and marketing operations.

Known for the robust, punch-packing reds that the Barossa Valley is world-famous for, Langmeil Winery offers a unique combination of Australian history and outstanding winemaking, earning the winery a swag of international and local awards and a reputation for excellence.
