COMMENTARY: What is the real story of Shiraz and Viognier? Does the 1-4% Viognier make a difference in the qualities of these wines? Whether the wines hail from Côte-Rôtie or Barossa, these wines have stood the test of time of wines that all wine lovers should indulge in and enjoy. The 2015 Langmeil Hangin' Snakes Shiraz Viognier is beautiful and ready for the table. TASTING NOTES: This wine serves up black fruits, chalk, and bold berries in its aromas and flavors. Perhaps the 4% Viognier added extra life to the Shiraz in this blend? Pair its rich textures with barbecue brisket. (Tasted: August 14, 2018, San Francisco, CA USA)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Composed of 96% Shiraz and 4% Viognier, the 2015 Shiraz / Viognier Hangin' Snakes displays a deep garnet-purple color and a nose of fresh black currants and black cherries with hints of violets, Provence herbs, cloves and cinnamon stick. The black fruit and spices fill the medium-bodied palate, supported by soft, approachable tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and perfumed.

Langmeil is a blend of Barossa’s cultural beginnings and a family’s modern commitment to world-class, old vine winemaking. Once a trading village established in 1842, this remarkable place is a captivating pocket of Australia’s wine and vine history that is a must when visiting the Barossa.
Owned by the Lindner family, whose own mark on the Barossa spans six-generations of farming, food, community, and wine, Langmeil is renowned for its preservation of old vines and the making of distinguished wines from these cherished sites.
At the pinnacle of its winemaking is The Freedom 1843 Shiraz, made from what is understood to be the world’s oldest surviving shiraz vineyard believed planted in 1843 at the heart of this historical patch of Barossa earth.
