2016 Peter Lehmann Margaret Semillon, Barossa Valley

2016 was a warm, low-yielding year, but this wine is showing beautifully as always. It sits pale straw in the glass, incredibly still sporting a slight green tinge, with characters of drying hay overlaying pithy lemon fruits with hints of clotted cream, white flowers, washed rind cheese, crushed stone, lemon curd, beeswax, nougat and a light wash of stone fruit. Long, endlessly complex and gorgeous drinking, the Margaret semillon is consistently one of the finest examples of the variety in the land.

Named after Peter Lehmann’s beloved wife, the Margaret Semillon is a beautiful aged white that develops over years of careful cellaring.
