The 2022 Langmeil Legendary Cabernet Shiraz is a classic Barossa Valley blend that brings together the structure and intensity of Cabernet Sauvignon with the richness and spice of Shiraz, creating a wine that is both powerful and harmonious. Crafted by Langmeil, one of Barossa’s most historic wineries, this wine reflects a traditional Australian style where the two varieties complement each other—Cabernet providing backbone and definition, while Shiraz adds generosity and depth. The nose is rich and expressive, showing aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum, layered with notes of cracked black pepper, cinnamon, cedar and subtle spice. Hints of blue fruit, mint and liquorice add further complexity, giving the wine both freshness and a savoury edge.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a concentrated and well-structured profile. Dark fruit flavours are supported by firm yet polished tannins and balanced acidity, while layers of spice, oak and savoury nuances build through the mid-palate. The Shiraz component softens the structure, adding plushness and roundness, leading to a long, smooth and expressive finish. The style is bold yet balanced, delivering classic Barossa richness with excellent drinkability and ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic choice for customers who enjoy classic Australian Cabernet-Shiraz blends with both structure and generous fruit. It’s ideal for those looking for a versatile, food-friendly red that offers depth without being overly heavy. Drink now with decanting or cellar for 8–12 years. Perfect with grilled steak, roast lamb, braised beef or hearty dishes.
