Vintage Report

The 2017 vintage in the Barossa Valley received an excellent rating of 91 points. The wines from this year are considered still youthful and tannic, making them ideal for further bottle aging.

This wine is a tribute to the best of the Barossa and to the dedication and independent vision of the Bitter and Lindner families at Langmeil, who have farmed the land for the past five generations. A combination of new and used oak barrels aged for 24 months gives it a deep yet bright red color that immediately stands out.

The family business Langmeil

Langmeil has a rich history dating back to 1842. Langmeil Winery is one of the leading wineries in the Barossa Valley. It is a true family business and is managed by the Lindner family. Although some of the vineyards are much older, Langmeil was founded in 1996 by three friends: Chris Bitter, Carl Lindner, and Richard Lindner. The original winery, which had been on the estate since 1930, closed in 1988 and remained untouched until the year of its founding. It took years to restore the winery. Fortunately, it was successful, because today we can enjoy Langmeil wines. The vines for The Freedom 1843 Shiraz were planted in 1843 by German emigrant Christian Auricht. The small plot of about one hectare of vineyards is considered the oldest Shiraz plot in Australia.

Traditional winemaking from Langmeil

Traditional Langmeil-style vinification method: hand-picked, flavor-ripe bunches, gentle crushing, open fermentation, and pressing in a traditional basket press. The wine is then aged for two years in new (63 percent) and used (37 percent) oak barrels to preserve the integrity of the Freedom 1843 vineyard. This is Langmeil's 12th vintage of The Freedom 1843, which improves even further with additional bottle aging and decanting. The purple glow, particularly noticeable at the rim, betrays its vibrancy. The nose clearly reveals Japanese Satsuma plums, blue fruit with creamy and toasted nuances, and a pleasant presence of violets. Very juicy on the palate, again with the Japanese Satsuma plums and blue fruit that flows throughout the finish, where a hint of orange marmalade is discernible.
