Langmeil Orphan Bank Shiraz 2023 750ml - Barossa Valley

Langmeil Orphan Bank Shiraz  750ml

95 Points – The Real Review

94 Points – James Sucklin

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.

Tasting Notes

Medium to deep crimson with purple hues.  A rich bouquet of red and blue fruits, clove and cedar, entwine with hints of sweet spice, roasted and savoury notes. Rich and juicy raspberry and Satsuma plum fill the mouth, with sweet spice adding to the complexity. The fruit is well balanced with hints of bramble and pepper and textural, fine-grained tannins on the lengthy finish.

Food Pairing

Rabbit stifado; pork or duck roast; mushroom risotto; roasted vegetable tartlet; matured cheese platter.

Alc: 14.5%
