Langmeil The Long Mile Shiraz 2020

Settled in 1842, Langmeil was the name given to one of the earliest German villages in the Barossa Valley. This name translates to the 'Long Mile' which signified the distance from the historic winery site to the Langmeil village church and coincidently reflects the commitment required to the pursuit of great wine.

2020 was the smallest vintage in fifty years due to one of the driest growing seasons on record with spring frosts followed by hot and windy conditions at flowering. The heat continued in December and January with a cooler than average February when the reduced crop ripened quickly. The compressed vintage produced juice of great colour, concentration and flavour, making it a year for rich and full-bodied wines. - Paul Lindner, Chief Winemaker

This wine has deep crimson with purple hues in the glass. Lifted aroma of satsuma plum and mulberry across the nose combine with floral, herbal and savoury notes with a touch of white pepper. Bright, juicy and rich fruit flows over the tongue giving a lovely full palate yet medium-bodied. Light peppery and spicy notes add to the complexity, with a hint of liquorice and silky tannins flowing onto the long, fruity finish.
