Langmeil Pure Eden Shiraz. 2014. 

Never available outside Australia, until now!
Pure Eden is a single site Shiraz, made from fruit sourced from an Eden Valley vineyard planted by Charles Angas in the 1890’s. Later owned by the Shilton's 1911–1926; Meakins 1926-1929; Roeslers 1929-1961; Andretzkes 1961-2011 and now the Lindner family, this wine is a reward of these guardian’s efforts over a hundred years.

A medium-bodied wine with juicy Satsuma Plum fruits and soft, velvety tannins adding a lovely structure and texture to the wine. Sweet and briary spice balances the juicy fruit with a little roasty, savoury note carrying through to the finish.

Vine age greater than 100 years of age.

2014 VINTAGE REPORT
A much needed soaking winter and early spring rains led to a great start
to the 2014 vintage. This didn’t last as late spring and early summer rain
was nearly non-existent, adding to the flow on from the previous
season’s drought. Yields were still below average, exacerbated by strong
wind events during flowering and very hot conditions in January with 14
consecutive days over 40C. Vintage was looking like a hot, hard and fast
one until mid-February, when the heavens opened up and dumped 90ml
in the Barossa Valley and 150ml in Eden Valley. Concerns for crop loss
were fortunately alleviated as there was minimal grape splitting in the
whites and all the reds just said thank you very much. After a three-week
delay for grapes to return to previous ripeness levels, the rest of vintage
was mild - extending hang time for great flavour development and
resulting in a calm and steady intake of great quality fruit. The nice
weather broke midway through April and hindered our patience with late
ripening Eden Valley Cabernet, so our last crush for the year was the 28th
of April. Overall, a very good vintage with a few anxious moments
thrown in.
