Our fifth generation Barossan winemakers have revived the old vineyards but continue to dry grow, hand prune and hand pick; producing fruit with vibrant colour and flavour. Fruit sourced from our own “Jackaman’s” 60 year old Lyndoch vineyard, dry grown low yielding and extremely intense, as well as fruit from a brilliant 80 year old
patch of bush vines belonging to one of our growers , is blended to produce this amazing, bold and complex wine.

Another Langmeil old vine garden at Lyndoch planted in 1953 is our single site Fifth Wave Grenache. Planted in 1953 on a sandy hillside this old vine garden produces a rare low yielding crop between 1 to 1.5 tonne to the acre. The fruit from this old vine garden continues to be dry grown; hand pruned and hand-picked which maximises the vibrancy and intensity of the fruit flavour. The style is again truly Langmeil, and with the philosophy of no fining and no filtration, they preserve and promote the true essence of Grenache from this vineyard site.

Colour - Medium depth, red, crimson

Nose - Ripe, red cherries fill the nostrils, fruit cake and biscuits add to the sweet aroma with hints of white pepper and earthiness completing the picture

Palate - Silky smooth on the palate with luscious fruit filling the mouth. Sweet spice comes more into play with the flavours adding to the complexity

Maturation - This wine was matured for 24 months in a combination 70% new and 30% seasoned French oak .

Langmeil Old Vine Garden Wines

Langmeil Winery’s commitment, is not only shown in our dedication to the resurrection of our own Old Vine Gardens, but also visible in our support to our loyal growers who are custodians to some very special parcels of Barossa’s history. Site specific characteristics and micro-climates assist in creating the uniqueness of Barossa’s Old Vine Gardens and are highlighted in single vineyard wines. Regional Barossa blends from these old gardens provide the winemaking team a cross section of developed flavour profiles to showcase.

Techniques such as only gently destemming the hand harvested fruit rather than crushing, open fermentation and basket pressing, with completely no fining or filtration, Paul and team ensure the full potential of the fruit is captured with old fashioned minimal handling but labour intensive techniques.

This assortment of wines is our personal expression of the best of our Old Vine Garden fruit from our beloved Barossa, and we trust that you take pleasure in tasting, drinking and cellaring them as we do growing and making them.
