The Peter Lehmann Stonewell Barossa Valley Shiraz is a rich and full-bodied wine that truly captures the essence of the Barossa Valley. It is made from grapes that are carefully sourced from select vineyards, and aged in French and American oak barrels for a minimum of 18 months. The nose is filled with aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and chocolate, with a hint of vanilla and spice. On the palate, it is robust and intense with flavors of dark fruit, plum, and a touch of smokiness. The tannins are bold but well-balanced with a long and satisfying finish. This is a wine that can be enjoyed now or cellared for years to come.

Tasting Notes

This Shiraz is deep purple in colour with a crimson rim. Aromas of black fruit, mocha and spice fill the nose, with enticing notes of vanilla from oak ageing. The palate is rich and full bodied, brimming with blueberry and violet flavours, demonstrating a cool vintage but still retaining fruit-ripeness and intensity. The oak is seamlessly integrated and the tannins smooth.
