LANGMEIL ORPHAN BANK SHIRAZ 2016

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.

Colour: Deep crimson with purple hues.

Aroma: A rich bouquet of red and blue fruits, herbs and cedar,

entwine with hints of sage, chocolate and savoury notes.

Palate: Rich and juicy raspberry and Satsuma plum fill the

mouth, with allspice sweetness adding to the mouthfeel. The

fruit is well balanced with hints of briary spice and textural,

fine-grained tannins on the lengthy finish
