Over time here at Langmeil Winery, we naturally accrue a few odds and ends; the few bottles left when we move to a new vintage, a case or two superfluous to an export order, a limited release presentation box, a rare large format etc. This page is to let our followers know what hidden gems have found themselves in cellar limbo and offer a means to liberate them!
Check this page out regularly as we will continue to add items.
The old vines for this single vineyard dry Riesling wine are planted on a unique Eden Valley property affectionately known as Wattle Brae for the native trees that surround it. It is one of Langmeil's cherished estate vineyards dedicated to capturing the best of region and variety.
Life is for living and the season that epitomises this is spring! Awakening from a winter slumber, the first days of spring bring budburst and a renewed enthusiasm for fun and frivolity. Our Spring Fever brings out the best in everyone and is worthy of celebration with good friends and great food!
The Fifth Wave is Langmeil’s most treasured Old Vine Garden Grenache and is dedicated to the fifth generation of the Lindner family. The vineyard was planted in 1973 and serves as a call to arms to preserve, promote and protect the best of the Barossa as well as an oft-overlooked variety.
The Barossa is famous for its viticulture, history and winemaking dating back to the 1840s. At its heart is the Valley Floor, a highly-prized strip of prime viticultural land which is the very foundation and forms the essence of this wine. A true taste of the Barossa.

Jackaman’s vineyard is home to Langmeil’s finest and rarest Cabernet Sauvignon, planted in the 1960s during the Cabernet revolution in the Barossa. This vineyard was lovingly tended by the colourful Barossan Arthur Jackaman, a World War II paratrooper, boxer and butcher who in retirement passed his small plot into Langmeil’s care.

Orphan Bank is testament to Langmeil’s commitment to preserving old and rare Barossa vineyards. Ten rows of Shiraz planted pre-1860 were saved from the developer’s bulldozer and replanted alongside the original Langmeil vineyard on the banks of the North Para River. We called these ten rows the “Orphans”, but after 150 years they have a new home.
Pure Eden is a single site wine, made from an Eden Valley vineyard planted by Charles Angas in the 1890s. Later owned by the Shiltons 1911 -1926; Meakins 1926-1929; Roeslers 1929-1961; Andretzkes 1961-2011 and now the Lindner family. This wine is a reward of these guardians’ efforts for more than one hundred years.
Scorched bay leaf, roasted meat, espresso—the 2017 Pure Eden Shiraz is the most savory of the vintages I've had the chance to taste. It's medium to full-bodied but firmly structured, almost corseted, if you will, into a tight sheath of firm tannins that turn dusty on the lingering finish. It's concentrated and complex but far from charming. Give it at least a few more years of cellaring. Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

Langmeil Winery is home to The Freedom 1843 Shiraz, believed to be planted in 1843 by vigneron Christian Auricht. Escaping war and persecution in Prussia, Auricht travelled to his new homeland, finding freedom in the Barossa Valley. The original plantings still survive and are some of the oldest and rarest vines in the world.

At their heart, the world's greatest wine regions have intrinsic qualities which can neither be bought nor earned. They fashion wines reflective of their unique terroir, forged by the elemental forces of nature, unassailable and unforgettable. Such is the Birthright of the Barossa.
Langmeil’s original vineyard, the Freedom, was believed to be planted in 1843 and survives to this day. Planted by our Lutheran forebears who were escaping religious persecution and war in Prussia, just seven years after the state of South Australia was colonized. They came to their new homeland, from ‘Persecution to Freedom’, to worship and find peace in our beloved Barossa.
