Background

The German settlement of Langmeil was first established in 1843, in an area adjacent to the North Para River along what is today known as Langmeil Road (Tanunda). The Langmeil property has been under vines since the early 1840's, the original Auricht estate comprising mixed farming, orchards, butcher, blacksmith, cobbler and, of course, a vineyard. The property was purchased in 1996 by three local businessmen whose families have lived in the Barossa Valley for several generations: Richard Lindner, Chris Bitter and Carl Lindner. They restored the old buildings and the village well, refurbished the winery and named it Langmeil, after the original village.

Tasting Notes

Medium to deep crimson with purple hues. A rich and lifted aroma of Satsuma plum and mulberry mingle with sweet spice, chocolate hints and savoury tones. Rich, sweet and spicy fruit in balance with velvety yet youthfully austere tannins. A complex, medium to full bodied wine showing hints of mocha and vanilla, which flow through to the lengthy, fruitful, pepper and spice finish.
