LANGMEIL PURE EDEN SHIRAZ 2019

Pure Eden is a single site wine, made from an Eden Valley vineyard planted by Charles Angas in the 1890s. Later owned by the Shiltons 1911 -1926; Meakins 1926-1929; Roeslers 1929-1961; Andretzkes 1961-2011 and now the Lindner family, this wine is a reward of these guardians’ efforts over a hundred years.

Winery notes (2019 Vintage)
"An alluring bouquet of red and blue fruits leap from the glass with savoury herbs and hints of black olive, cedar, earthiness and white pepper. A medium to full-bodied wine with juicy Satsuma plum and raspberry fruits with plenty of velvety tannins adding structure and texture to the wine. Sweet and briary spices balance the juicy fruit with a subtle cedar note carrying through to the finish. Drink 2022 – 2036."

96/100 James Halliday's Wine Companion (2019 Vintage)
"Sourced from 120yo shiraz vines in Flaxman Valley and aged in French oak (49% new) for 24 months. Aromas of red plum, blueberry and boysenberry fruits underscored by hints of spice box, a light cedar nuance, warm earth and roasting meats. Superfine powdery tannins provide gentle support and there is a distinct savoury air to its palate shape, with a toothsome, meaty edge to the fruit profile. A lovely, textural wine."

5 Stars & 96/100 Huon Hooke, The Real Review, April 2021 (2018 Vintage)
"Deep, dense purple/red colour. The aromas are tilted towards mixed spices together with black fruits, a whiff of char-oak, pepper and graphite, the palate full-bodied and firmly structured, with lashings of drying tannins and lots of Christmas cake, plum pudding flavours, the ample soft tannins drying off the finish and countering the opulence of the flavours. A powerful shiraz that's not without elegance."

95/100 Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, June 2019 (2016 Vintage)
"Raspberry, boysenberry, mint, creamy oak, and a lavender and scrub herb perfume. It’s supple, flooded with ripe raspberry and black fruits, deep fine grained tannin, bright acidity, and a long finish with toast, ripe fruit and sage in the aftertaste. Excellent."
