Langmeil THE FREEDOM 1843, 2016 Shiraz, Barossa Valley, Australia.

Story Behind the Wine
Langmeil is home to The Freedom Shiraz vineyard, which is believed to be planted in 1843 by vigneron Christian Auricht. Escaping war and persecution in Prussia, Auricht traveled to his new homeland, finding Freedom in the Barossa Valley. His original plantings survive to this day and at 169 years old are some of the oldest and rarest vines in the world.
The Winery
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. 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 in French oak accentuate the natural fruit intensity and structure.
