The 2024 Langmeil The Long Mile Shiraz is a vibrant and expressive Barossa Valley Shiraz that reflects the winery’s rich heritage and commitment to crafting approachable, fruit-driven wines. Named after the "Long Mile" between the historic Langmeil village and church, this wine embodies both tradition and the dedication to quality that defines one of Barossa’s oldest wine estates. The nose is lifted and inviting, showing aromas of satsuma plum, raspberry and mulberry, layered with floral notes, dried herbs and a touch of white pepper. Subtle hints of spice and savoury nuances add complexity, while a gentle oak influence contributes notes of chocolate and liquorice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a bright, juicy and fruit-forward profile. Ripe red and dark fruit flavours flow seamlessly across the palate, supported by silky tannins and balanced acidity. Light peppery spice and a touch of savoury character build through the mid-palate, leading to a smooth, long and gently spicy finish. The style is generous yet approachable, offering classic Barossa richness with a softer, more drinkable edge.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent everyday Barossa Shiraz that delivers great value without sacrificing character. It’s perfect for customers who enjoy juicy, fruit-forward reds with smooth tannins and easy drinkability. Drink now or over the next 4–6 years. Ideal with barbecue, grilled meats, charcuterie or casual dining.
