Langmeil has reached a major milestone in 2026 with Paul Lindner celebrating 30 years of winemaking. The release of these Old Vine – Garden Wines highlight the Lindner Family’s ‘seven-generation’ relationship with the Barossa. The 1843-planted Freedom Vines are thought to be the oldest surviving shiraz vines in the world. The 2024 Freedom Shiraz is an exceptional release showing both singularity and authenticity while furthering the cause of heritage and old vines. Co-proprietor James Lindner, who manages sales and marketing has done a brilliant job in building the reputation of Langmeil through this prism. The Langmeil style is typified by pure fruit definition, inky density, richness of flavour and flow. Oak maturation leads to attractive complexity and suppleness.
