The Barossa is believed to house the oldest living Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards on the planet. Beyond age, interest is then on their absolute quality and uniqueness.

Wine Spectator once said that “Old vines can make a difference. Everyone knows that nothing is more important than what the Italians evocatively call ‘la materia prima’, the foundation ingredient. If you’ve got a good site and good winemaking—which are hardly incidental — then old vines can make a discernible impact.” Matt Kramer 2010.

At Langmeil we consider The Freedom 1843 Shiraz to be as significant as the greatest vineyards of the world. After more than a decade, Paul Lindner - fifth generation Barossan and Langmeil family winemaker, believes The Freedom vineyard has all the hallmarks of a great terroir. The essence of Barossa Shiraz whose ancestry and pedigree is universally acclaimed. The ultimate judge will be ‘Time, tide and fortune’.
