Langmeil Shiraz Orphan Bank originates from Australia, within the Barossa Valley region. The winery is home to a historic preservation project where ten rows of pre-1860 Shiraz vines were rescued from local developers and replanted at the estate. Chief Winemaker Paul Lindner follows a philosophy of minimal intervention to express the purity of these old vines, which now average over 100 years of age.
Wine Description
This wine typically displays a deep crimson colour with purple hues and possesses a full, rich body. The sensory profile features an aromatic nose of blackberry compote, blue fruits, and violets, accented by sophisticated notes of cedar and baking spices. On the palate, it is concentrated and lush, delivering flavours of juicy raspberries and plums supported by velvety, fine grained tannins and a savory hint of mocha. The finish is long, elegant, and balanced with a refined structural flow.
Varietal Composition: 100% Shiraz.
Stylistic Notes: The wine is celebrated for its polished complexity and depth, having been matured for 24 months in French oak hogsheads.
ABV: Typically recorded between 14.5% and 15%.
Organic Status: The estate focuses on sustainable viticulture and biodiversity, though this specific bottling is not certified organic.
Food Pairing
The opulent fruit and structured tannins of this Shiraz make it an ideal partner for savoury, protein rich dishes.
