Langmeil The Fifth Wave Grenache 2008

Medium depth, red, crimson colour. Dark cherries and raspberry aromas mingle with hints of white pepper and sweet spice. Bright, sweet fruit flows onto the tongue with cherries dominating the flavour and chocolaty oak nuances add to the complexity. Fine, soft tannins and good acidity help balance the richness and the long and fruitful finish ends with that little hint of pepper and spice.
Another Langmeil old vine garden at Lyndoch planted in 1953 is our single site Fifth Wave Grenache. Planted in 1953 on a sandy hillside this old vine garden produces a rare low yielding crop between 1 to 1.5 tonne to the acre. The fruit from this old vine garden continues to be dry grown; hand pruned and handpicked
which maximises the vibrancy and intensity of the fruit flavour. The style is again truly Langmeil,
and with the philosophy of no fining and no filtration, they preserve and promote the true essence of Grenache from this vineyard site.
Our fifth generation Barossan winemakers have revived
the old vineyards but continue to dry grow, hand prune
and hand pick; producing fruit with vibrant colour and
flavour. Fruit sourced from our own “Jackaman’s” 60 year
old Lyndoch vineyard, dry grown low yielding and extremely intense, as well as fruit from a brilliant 80 year old
patch of bush vines belonging to one of our growers, is blended to produce this amazing, bold and complex wine.
