Pure Eden is a single site wine, made from an Eden Valley vineyard planted by Charles  Angas in the 1890s. Later owned by the Shiltons 1911 -1926; Meakins 1926-1929; Roeslers  1929-1961; Andretzkes 1961-2011 and now the Lindner family.  This wine is a reward for  these guardians’ efforts for more than one hundred years.  Langmeil Winery respectfully acknowledges the Kaurna, Ngadjuri and Peramangk people,  past, present and future, the traditional custodians of the land on which we grow and make  our wines.  The Lindner family of Langmeil Winery has been immersed in the Barossa’s culture of  farming, food, wine and community for six generations. Their commitment to quality in  all aspects is unwavering and any wine that bears the Langmeil name represents the  family’s pursuit of excellence in wine and community.    Eden Valley    100% Shiraz    36% new French oak and  64% seasoned French oak     Twenty-six months    110 to 163-year-old vines    Flaxman Valley    2.5 tonnes per acre    Rod and spur    Grey sandy loam  (decomposed granite)  over sandstone, ironstone  and granite    10 – 14 April      Alcohol: 14.8%  pH: 3.41  TA:  6.6g/L  Residual Sugar:  2.57g/L  VA: 0.49g/L     The outstanding 2021 vintage is up there as one of my  favourites. Sufficient winter rains revitalised the vines after  two consecutive dry, frost-affected and low-yielding years.  Spring was near perfect for budburst, flowering and fruit set,  enabling vines to flourish and reach their full potential.  Summer was gorgeous and mild with slow and even  ripening, fantastic colour and flavour development, and  acid retention. Finally, an unhurried harvest reduced  pressure on fermenter space, cellar hands, and my sanity! As  a result, we have captured the personality and quality of  every vineyard.  Colour:  Medium depth crimson with purple hues.  Aroma:  An alluring bouquet of red and blue fruits leap from  the glass with roasted, savoury notes and hints of black  olive, cedar, earthiness and white pepper.  Palate:  A medium to full-bodied wine with juicy Satsuma  plum and raspberry fruits with plenty of velvety tannins  adding structure and texture to the wine. Sweet and briary  spices balance the juicy fruit with a subtle cedar note  carrying through the finish.  Cellaring:  2023-2038  Food match:  Beef cheeks; Osso Buco; Fillet Mignon.  Paul Lindner, Chief Winemake
