Langmeil The Freedom 1843 Shiraz Barossa Valley 2017  £73.74

LANGMEIL THE FREEDOM 1843 SHIRAZ BAROSSA VALLEY

Langmeils flagship red wine is made from Shiraz vines dating back to 1843 and are considered some of, if not the oldest vines still remaining in Australia.

The resulting wines offer lots of complexity, elegance and intrigue from what is not a stereo-typical blockbuster Barossa Shiraz.

James Halliday: 96 Points 

Believed by the Lindner family to have been planted in 1843, and thus 173yo, the oldest in Australian, the claim contested by others. Matured in French oak (70% new) for 26 months. Another of the Langmeil wines to have a degree of elegance and freshness, and also touches of olive and herbs.
