Langmeil Old Vine Garden Orphan Bank Barossa Valley Shiraz 2020 – 6 Bottles

TASTING NOTES: Orphan Bank is a 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 River Para. We called these ten rows the “Orphans” but after 150 years they have a new home. Medium depth crimson with purple hues. Intense and lifted perfume of blue fruits, violets and chocolate, entwine with hints of sage, cedar, and white peppery spice. Juicy raspberries and Satsuma plum fill the mouth, with lovely oak sweetness adding to the mouthfeel. The fruit is wonderfully balanced with briary and white pepper spice and textured fine tannin.
