Speaking a local dialect known as ‘Barossa-Deutsch’, a blend of German and English that embodies the history of the district, one of Langmeil’s growers, the late Wally Krieg didn’t curse, just as his forebears didn’t, but in the heat of the vintage was often heard to mutter “Hangin’ Snakes!”
The 2023 Barossa vintage was characterized by a cool, wet season leading to a later-than-usual harvest, with healthy yields, where the wines are perfumed, elegant and expressive of their terroir, showing good colour and tannin development. Pouring the 2023 Hangin Snakes into the glass and the colour is impressive as is the bouquet which fills the room. Wines with precision and purity, resonating with the cooler temperatures, very impressive indeed. A rarity in this ever-hotter climate.

a dark broody aroma of blackberries, bramble, and spice

sweetly fruited with lashings of red and dark berry fruits with milk chocolate balanced by earthy, forest floor notes. Chewy tannins and salivating acidity give structural integrity, making for a delicious drinking Shiraz now and one that will stand the test of time, cellar 5-8 years with confidence. Perfect with roasted lamb or beef. The recommended serving temperature is 16-18 degrees.
