Peter Lehmann H&V Barossa Shiraz

Peter Lehmann H&V Barossa Shiraz

Peter Lehmann H&V Barossa Shiraz – This superb, full flavoured Shiraz is sourced from exceptional vineyards dotted throughout the ancient soils of the Barossa Valley, long acknowledged as the home of some of the world’s great Shiraz. True to the Peter Lehmann style, it is robust and generous just like the man himself.

A nose of plum, raspberry, violet flower, blueberry, mocha and a hint of spiced. On the palate its fresh blueberry fruit with lots of plum, dark cherries and young blackcurrant fruits. A long fine tannin structure throughout gives an excellent backbone to this food friendly style of Barossa Shiraz.

A perfect accompaniment to Steak Tartare or grilled Chorizo.

The grapes are picked in the cool of the early morning and crushed immediately into stainless steel fermenters where they ferment steadily for 7-10 days. After pressing off skins, the wine is then matured in new and older French oak hogsheads for 12 months prior to blending, fining, filtration and bottling. With robust, integrated tannin this wine could mature in the bottle for ten+ years.

Barossa is one of the only wine regions in Australia to have neighbouring warm and cool climate growing conditions. Barossa Valley enjoys a warm Mediterranean climate characterised by hot dry summers, relatively low rainfall and low humidity, providing perfect conditions for growing grapes. The lower Barossa floor is drier, warmer and is ideally suited to growing iconic full bodied Shiraz. The higher altitude Eden Valley region has a cooler climate with abundant winter rainfall. The soil in Eden Valley is rocky and acidic, with shallow rock and shale that creates world class Rieslings.
Peter Lehmann Wines works collaboratively with over 140 growers across the length and breadth of the region, many of whom have been involved with the Peter Lehmann story for decades. Through these strong bonds and generations of working with the region’s finest grape-growers, Peter Lehmann Wines continues to craft a range of premium wines that speak of their origins.
