Stonewell Shiraz - Peter Lehmann

The Stonewell Shiraz from the pen of Peter Lehmann from South Australia shows a dense, purple color in the swirled glass. At the edges, this Australian red also shows a transition into garnet red. Swiveling the wine glass, this red wine reveals a high density and fullness, which is evident in strong church windows at the edge of the glass. The bouquet of this red wine from South Australia captivates with notes of blackberry, prunes, raisins and fruit bread. If we trace the aromatics further, vanilla, dark chocolate and black tea are added, encouraged by the oak influence.

On the palate, Peter Lehmann's Stonewell Shiraz starts out wonderfully dry, grippy and aromatic. With its present fruit acidity, the Stonewell Shiraz presents itself wonderfully fresh and lively on the palate. The finale of this mature red wine from the wine-growing region of South Australia, more precisely from Barossa, finally impresses with considerable reverberation. The finish is also accompanied by mineral facets of the soils dominated by volcanic rock and clay.

Vinification of the Peter Lehmann Stonewell Shiraz

This powerful red wine from Australia is made from the Shiraz grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in South Australia. Here, the vines dig their roots deep into soils of clay, sand, volcanic rock and black earth. After harvesting, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in small wood at controlled temperatures. At the end of fermentation, the Stonewell Shiraz is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.
