      The Lindner family of Langmeil Winery has been immersed in the Barossa’s culture of farming, food, wine 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.

      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.

      The 2019 vintage of the The Freedom 1843 Shiraz has a deep crimson colour. Intense aromas of ripe Satsuma plum, mocha, vanilla and savoury notes come from the glass combined with hints of cedar and sweet spices. Rich, sweet fruit on the palate is balanced wonderfully with briary and sweet spices and lovely, silky tannins. A full-bodied, textural wine, showing great complexity with hints of cedar and allspice flowing through to the lengthy, brambly fruit finish.

      Pair this wine with kangaroo steak with plum sauce; lamb shanks; grilled or roast beef; hard matured cheese. Enjoy now or cellar until 2035.

      Believed to be planted in 1843, the Langmeil Freedom vineyard, just on the outskirts of Tanunda on the banks of the Para River, is one of the region's great sites. I sometimes think these ancestor vines must have some sort of memory; filing away all that data of growing seasons past and perhaps possessing an innate ability to self-regulate during stressful years. Regardless, it's a wonderful wine. Calm and very comfortable in its own skin, with rich plum and berry fruits, a lovely textural flow, superfine river-silt tannins and a savoury wash of spicy fruit and finish that carries admirably. - Dave Brookes, Wine Companion, 96 Points
