The Barossan Shiraz - Peter Lehmann

The Barossan Shiraz from the pen of Peter Lehmann of South Australia shows a dense purple color in the wine glass. In the glass, this red wine from Peter Lehmann shows aromas of morello cherries, black cherries, plums and damsons, complemented by oriental spices, vanilla and gingerbread spice. This Australian wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with only 1.8 grams of residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine in the high quality wine range, this Australian naturally enraptures with the finest balance despite all its dryness. Taste does not necessarily require a lot of residual sugar. On the palate, the texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully silky. Due to its vital fruit acidity, The Barossan Shiraz presents itself wonderfully fresh and lively on the palate. In the finish, this youthful from the wine-growing region of South Australia finally inspires with considerable length. Once again, hints of plum and black cherry show through. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the soils dominated by sandstone and sand are added.

Vinification of the Peter Lehmann The Barossan Shiraz

This red wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, Shiraz. Only premium grape material was used for this wonderfully powerful varietal wine from Peter Lehmann. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in South Australia. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of clay, sand, sandstone, volcanic rock and black earth. After the grape harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in small wood at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by 12 months of aging in French and American quarter barrels.
