Langmeil

Hallowed Ground Shiraz

2019 was the smallest vintage in twenty years due to a drier than average growing season with spring frosts. What little fruit there was ripened quickly in the hot, dry conditions of January and February, with a mad rush to pick before sugar levels became excessive. On the plus side, the lack of rainfall meant there was no disease pressure this season. The reds will be bold, dark, rich and long-lived. Sadly, they will be in very short supply.
A rich and inviting bouquet of Satsuma plum, violet and roasted notes with hints of dough, liquorice and eucalypt. A mouth-filling and chewy palate with plenty of sweet plummy fruit to balance the fine-grained tannins. Hints of liquorice and blueberry flow through the long, silky and sweet spiced finish.
