James Halliday's 2006, 2007, 2008 & 2009 Australian Wine Companion have rated Langmeil Winery five stars, placing it amongst the very top echelon of Australian Wineries. Langmeil's Three Gardens yields a fine red blend with a distinct Barossa style and complementary characteristics.
The blend of Shiraz, Mourvèdre and Grenache shows great balance and integrated structure, with full, ripe fruit, supported by firm but fine tannins. Flavours of cherries and blackberries dominate, with hints of chocolate and spice.
