We loved the freshness and vibrancy of this rare example from the deft winemaking hands of Elena Brooks. In the glass: Medium lemon.On the nose: Lemon blossom, grapefruit, peach, lime and honeysuckle. On the palate: Opulent and powerful with a deep core of stonefruit, attractive citrus and floral complexity, lovely fresh acidity and a plush finish.

A beautiful clean and crisp Riesling with distinct varietal and regional character. Pale gold straw. Fragrant green lime and grapefruit with delicate floral notes. Wonderful purity of flavour, fresh lime juice and a bright minerality. Zesty and lively with a long persistent finish.

Intense floral aromas and notes of bright, mouthwatering fruit give way to vibrant acidity and citrus flavours with mineral undertones.

Pale straw with green hues. A delicate, bouquet of lime and tropical fruits, with hints of green apple, citrus blossom and talc. Fresh and lively, lime and Granny Smith apples tantalise the taste buds, with a zingy, zesty mouth feel and great balance. The site where the Langmeil winery now sits was originally settled by Blacksmith Christian Auricht way back in 1842. Christian went on to establish a bakery, smithy, a butcher's shop and a cobbler as well as planting a 1 hectare vineyard on the estate. This vineyard, still in use today, has been called the Freedom 1843 block and is believed to be one of the oldest Shiraz vineyards in the world. Flash forward 160+ years and the Langmeil winery and vineyard is back in family hands, with Carl Lindner, Richard Lindner and Chris Bitter now owning this historic Barossan estate. Like many Barossan estates with a bent for traditional full bodied reds, Langmeil prefers open fermenters and basket presses, utilising these fabulously archaic methods for over half its grape intake of approximately 1000 tonnes. In a similar vein, the wines are only minimally handled and minimally filtered before bottling in an attempt to preserve natural flavour and complexity.

The 2020 Springton Riesling was carefully blended from 3 different blocks within the Avon Brae vineyard. (56% Block 11, 26% Block 10, 19% Block 8) It is bright pale straw and shows tropical fruits and rose petal on the nose. The palate is broad and full with lime over a long line of lemon. An enticing Eden Valley Riesling drinking well now but built to last.
