STORY BEHIND THE WINE

At their heart, the world’s greatest wine regions have intrinsic qualities which can neither be bought nor earned. They fashion wines reflective of their unique terroir, forged by the elemental forces of nature, unassailable and unforgettable. Such is the Birthright of the Barossa.

THE WINERY

The Lindner family of Langmeil Winery has been immersed in the Barossa’s culture of farming, food and community for six generations. Their commitment to quality in all aspects is unwavering, and any wine that bears the Langmeil name represents the family’s pursuit of excellence in wine and community. The family’s vision is to highlight the rare qualities of old vine Shiraz using hands-on winemaking techniques. Gentle destemming, open fermentation, basket pressing and two years' maturation in French oak barrels accentuate the natural fruit intensity and structure.
