2014 Orphan Bank Shiraz large_format only 32 days above 30°COrphan Bank is testament to Langmeils commitment to preserving old and rare Barossa vineyards. Ten rows of Shiraz planted pre 1860 were saved from the developers 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.
