Barossa was established as a small trading village in 1842, the same year Langmeil Winery was founded, making it the oldest winery in the region.
The Lindner family, owners of the iconic Langmeil Winery, has been a part of Barossa culture for six generations, with an unwavering commitment to producing high-quality wines. Their name is spoken in reverence in the valley.
The Three Gardens name came from their approach to the land, referring to their vineyards as gardens. The bottle lists this as a blend of 50% Grenache, 25% Shiraz, and 25% Mataro. The winery lists it as 44% Grenache, 34% Shiraz, 19% Mataro, 1% Carignan, 1% Counoise, and 1% Cinsault. Whichever it is, this classic Rhône-style blend is delicious to drink and incredible value at under $25.
Vine ages range from 50 – 100 years, planted in coarse sand over red clay and ironstone. Aging occurred in 11% new French oak and 89% seasoned American oak for 17 months
There is a fresh, mint-like quality about the nose that cradles aromas of dark cherries and raspberries, with just a hint of blackberries, mocha, and spices.
Soft and approachable on the palate without being fruity or jammy, this displays depth, complexity, and appeal beyond its price point. There is a bright, juicy appeal to this wine wrapped in layers of ripe red fruits, blackberries, mocha, plums, vanilla, with compelling notes of sweet spices and white pepper. It makes for a complete and enjoyable package.
Food Pairings should include beef, lamb, game, and tomato-dominated dishes. Chicken Cacciatore and Pepperoni Pizza should be considered.
Cellar time: to 2032 with confidence.
