The Lindner family of Langmeil Winery has been immersed in the Barossa’s culture of 
farming, food, wine and community for six generations. Their commitment to quality in 
all aspects is unwavering and any wine that bears the Langmeil name represents the 
family’s pursuit of excellence in wine and community. 

Orphan Bank is a testament to Langmeil's commitment to preserving old and rare Barossa vineyards. Ten rows of shiraz planted pre-1860 were saved from the developer's bulldozer and replanted alongside the original Langmeil vineyard on the banks of the North Para River. They called these ten rows the "Orphans", but after 150 years they have a new home.

100% Shiraz matured 24 months in oak (44% new & 56% seasoned french oak hogsheads). 2019 was the smallest vintage in twenty years due to a drier than average growing season with spring frosts.

Tasting Notes

"Rich and juicy raspberry and Satsuma plum fill the mouth, with allspice sweetness adding to the mouthfeel. The fruit is well balanced with hints of briary spice and textural, fine-grained tannins on the lengthy finish". Paul Lindner, Langmeil Chief Winemaker
