The very first Gruner Veltliner from the Eden Valley, growing blissfully alongside their natural soulmate, Riesling (and showing some similar characters). Rich golden yellow in colour with an intriguing floral nose of blossom and stone fruit. The palate is rich and broad offering nectarine and white peach with back notes of citrus and grapefruit. A beautifully textural wine yet a pure, clean, mineral finish.

Heggies Botrytis Riesling is sourced from high quality Riesling vineyards high up in the Eden Valley. Slightly wet and humid conditions in 2011 allowed for the onset of Botrytis in the vineyard and an intensity of flavour that continues right through the palate.

A masterful blend of three Germanic luminaries, Gewürztraminer,Riesling and Weiyer Herold. Showcasing restrained and yet mouthfilling (and watering) tropical fruits; lychee, mandarins and the like with gorgeous minerality that lingers on the tongue.

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.

Mid straw colour. Lifted white peach and nectarine aromatics with flinty notes. Full and intense white stone fruit with grilled cashew notes and generous mid palate. Integrated oak with mouthwatering acid line.

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.

Only our second Chardonnay from a carefully fostered single block of Eden Valley fruit of impeccable pedigree. Bright golden yellow, with white peach, apple Danish and cinnamon on the nose that follows through on the palate. A full-bodied wine with a silky creamy texture and an elegant lingering finish. An assured Chardonnay that can stand alone and solve the problems of the world. Drink now or cellar with confidence, for there is a long road ahead.

Over an ale or three a treasure map is drawn, its destination a parcel of unclaimed old vine Riesling. A rabble of scallywags are conscripted for the voyage and after rowdy debate and eventual munity, the grail is found. With shots over the bow the prize is plundered and they fled like pirates. Winemakers Notes Definitely very drinkable now for the lovers of fresh delicate Rieslings but is picked early and built to reward the serious cellaring types. ‘I’m Lucky enough to me mentored by on of Australia’s true Riesling legends. Thanks Andrew Wigan’ – Ben Chipman Colour: Clear Straw Bouquet: lime citrus, spice, mineral Palate: Delicately weighted with upfront Bickford lime juice, bursts of acidity with juicy fruit and solid rocky back bone to go the journey.
