Cabernet Rosé at its finest, by one of the Barossa's most adroit handlers of dry grown old vines. Crafted from hand selected grapes, fermented twenty four hours on skins, capturing the opulence of Cabernet while locking in a modicum of fine, crisp tannins. The result is a light and clean, mind numbingly refreshing, rakishly pink hued wine with the exuberant flavour of summer berries. A Rosé for grown ups, with as much character and charm as you could hope to find in a wine of its style, the ideal drink at any social, exquisite with fine faire or boutique cheese. Stylistically reminiscent of the Loire Valley's Cabernet d'Anjou, fashioned to be refreshingly tannic yet forward drinking, medium bodied and quenching. It is said that great wine starts in the vineyard. Through a close liaison with some of the Barossa's most distinguished winegrowing families, Langmeil's team assess how the growing season has affected fruit, to collate parcels of the highest order. By keeping components separate throughout the winemaking, consistency and quality can be ensured at every vintage. To maximise the good Barossa fruit, Langmeil harnesses the synergy of new and old world vinification techniques, capturing the essence of a fine Rosé in contemporary Aussie styling. Alcohol 12.0%
TASTING NOTESCandy apple red with pale pink hues. A pretty perfume of strawberry and raspberry fruit with hints of toffee apple and musk lollies. Generous with refreshing, sweet red fruits which mingle with bright, zesty acidity, flowing through to a lingering, crisp Granny Smith apple finish. The Rose of choice to accompany red fish cutlets, spicy vietnamese faire or a very classy, runny Brie. |

In 1836 George Fife Angas, Chairman of The South Australian Company, was approached by the Lutheran people of Silesia, who were fleeing Prussian oppression and seeking a new homeland
He sent his chief clerk, Charles Flaxman, to Prussia and, after a favourable report, chartered two ships to take the migrants from Hamburg. As each ship arrived in Adelaide, the emigrants were dispersed to various settlements in the vicinity. After much negotiation, Pastor August Kavel secured land in the Barossa Valley to congregate the migrants, and in 1842 the village of Langmeil was established. Langmeil»
