Langmeil Blacksmith Cabernet Sauvignon is made from grapes sourced mainly from Langmeil’s old, pre-phylloxera and own-root vineyards located in the Barossa wine-growing region.
In 1838, Christian Auricht, a thirty-two year old blacksmith, arrived from Prussia with his wife and four children. Auricht and 12 other families settled in the new hamlet of Langmeil along the North Para River. He went on to build a forge, around which the village’s trading centre grew.
In 1843, Auricht planted a Shiraz vineyard. These vines are believed to be among the oldest Shiraz vines in existence in the Barossa Valley and are celebrated in the Langmeil The Freedom 1843 Shiraz, first released in 1999, which is crafted from these historic vines.
Auricht’s grandson, Arthur Hanisch, eventually sold the winery in 1969. Following a period where the winery was known as Paradale and then Bernkastel Wines in 1972. The cellar door was closed in 1993. It was reopened by long-term Barossa residents, the Lindner and Bitter families, who bought the property in 1996. The Lindner family bought Langmeil Winery outright in 2011. They have been immersed in the Barossa’s culture of farming, food, wine and community for six generations.
The Lindner family has undertaken a program of renovation, building and acquisition since their purchase, including acquiring the Pure Eden Shiraz vineyard in the Eden Valley, which is believed to be planted by Charles Angas in the 1890s. Langmeil also buy grapes from a valued network of family-owned grape growers through the Barossa.
Their winemaking process blends traditional methods, such as the use of open fermenters and basket presses, with modern techniques, ensuring vibrant, fruit-driven wines with subtle complexity; all characteristic of the Barossa terroir.
This wine, as well as Valley Floor Shiraz, Fifth Wave Grenache and The Freedom 1843 Shiraz, are all available to buy now at Fareham Wine Cellar.
