Winemaking and Drinking

The Langmeil Wines Blacksmith Cabernet Sauvignon is a distinguished expression of Barossa Valley's winemaking heritage. Nestled in the heart of South Australia, Langmeil Wines boasts a rich history, tracing its origins back to the mid-19th century when German settlers first planted the now-famous vineyards. The winery, officially established in 1842, is one of the oldest in the region and has continued to preserve the traditions and craftsmanship of its founders. The name "Blacksmith" pays homage to Christian Auricht, an early settler and blacksmith who established the original homestead and workshop that now forms part of Langmeil's heritage site.

The Blacksmith Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, using handpicked grapes from premium Barossa Valley vineyards. The terroir, characterized by warm days and cool nights, allows for optimal ripening, producing a wine with depth, structure, and complexity. Aged in French oak barrels for 18-24 months, this wine beautifully balances bold fruit flavors with refined tannins.

Tasting Notes

On the nose, the Langmeil Blacksmith Cabernet Sauvignon offers a bouquet of blackberries, cassis, and dark cherries, complemented by hints of cedar, tobacco, and dark chocolate. The palate is rich and full-bodied, showcasing layers of ripe plum, blackcurrant, and subtle spice, framed by silky tannins and a lingering finish. The oak aging imparts a nuanced complexity, with notes of vanilla and toasted oak weaving seamlessly through the fruit-forward profile.

The Langmeil Blacksmith Cabernet Sauvignon has received numerous accolades, including high scores from James Halliday’s Wine Companion and Wine Spectator, often ranking in the 90-95 point range. It has also been awarded Gold at the Barossa Wine Show, a testament to its consistent quality and craftsmanship.
