Description
Orphan Bank is testament to Langmeil’s commitment to preserving old and rare Barossa vineyards. Ten rows of Shiraz planted pre-1860 were saved from the developer’s bulldozer and replanted alongside the original Langmeil vineyard on the banks of the North Para River. We called these ten rows the “Orphans”, but after 150 years they have a new home.
“I'm liking the recent releases of the Orphan Bank. They are less percussive ... crunchier and juicier in their fruit profile. Still with classic plummy, black-fruited goodness with layers of spice and an earthy resonance that could be nothing else but Barossan. The tannin architecture is fine and sandy, its acidity bright and fresh and the oak nestles into the fruit nicely with a slow fade.” 94 Points - The Wine Companion
