The wine takes its name from Christian Auricht, a Prussian migrant and blacksmith who settled with his family in the village of Langmeil in 1842 and established a smithy on the property where the winery stands today. Langmeil’s modern revival began in 1996, when the historic property was restored, and the Lindner family subsequently took sole ownership of the winery in 2011. Today, the family continues to produce wines intended to express the distinctive character of the Barossa, with Paul Lindner overseeing winemaking. The 2023 growing season was notably cool in the Barossa, following an exceptionally wet spring, conditions under which Cabernet Sauvignon was regarded as one of the region’s standout red varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, the 2023 Blacksmith displays a medium-depth crimson colour with purple hues and a rich aromatic profile centred on blueberry, blackcurrant and black olive. Cedar, liquorice and sweet spice provide additional savoury complexity, reinforcing its classic Cabernet character. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with bright, concentrated berry fruit accompanied by brambly spice, black olive and liquorice. Velvety, fine-grained tannins give the wine shape and structure while allowing the fruit to remain generous and approachable. These structural elements carry through to a long, fruity and spicy finish, giving the wine both immediate appeal and potential for further development. Langmeil recommends a drinking window through 2035 and suggests pairing the wine with mushroom risotto, braised beef ribs or beef cheeks, duck and hard cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Rich and lifted\u003cbr\u003eBlueberry, blackcurrant and black olive with cedar, liquorice and sweet spices adding complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Bright and richly fruited\u003cbr\u003eBerry fruit, brambly spice, black olive and liquorice with a medium-to-full-bodied structure and velvety, fine-grained tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long and spicy\u003cbr\u003ePersistent fruit and spice carried by fine-grained tannins and savoury Cabernet character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold Medal – The Global Cabernet Sauvignon Masters 2026, The Drinks Business\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eMaker – Langmeil Winery\u003cbr\u003eVarietal – Cabernet Sauvignon\u003cbr\u003eCountry – Australia\u003cbr\u003eRegion – South Australia\u003cbr\u003eAppellation – Barossa Valley\u003cbr\u003eVintage – 2023\u003cbr\u003eSize – 750ml\u003cbr\u003eABV – 14.5%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Langmeil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44305837817943,"sku":"LBSCS-23","price":29.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/f40b8584-a271-4f71-8c44-f9133cbb7653.webp?v=1789615962","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/langmeil-blacksmith-cabernet-sauvignon-2023","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
