A lush aroma of red and blue fruits, herbs, and cedar is complemented by nuances of sweet spice, roasted elements, and savory hints. The palate is filled with juicy raspberry and Satsuma plum, accompanied by the subtle sweetness of allspice, contributing to a rich mouthfeel. Briary spice undertones and fine-grained tannins add complexity to the long, satisfying finish.

Orphan Bank is a testament to Langmeil's dedication to safeguarding old and rare Barossa vineyards. Ten rows of Shiraz, originally planted before 1860, were rescued from developers and replanted alongside the original Langmeil vineyard on the banks of the North Para River. Initially dubbed the "Orphans," these vines found a new home after 150 years.
