The Langmeil "The Freedom 1843" Shiraz 2013 is a red wine to be savored, as the vintage is over 150 years in the making. The grapes for this wine were grown on The Freedom Shiraz vineyards in the Barossa Valley, which records suggest was planted by vigneron Christian Auricht in 1843. These very old vines produced grapes of surpassing richness, and the resulting wines reflect that complexity.

The nose shows Satsuma plum, mocha, cedar, and violets. The palate is full-bodied and textured, with sweet spice and silky tannins.
