2017 Peter Lehmann Stonewell Shiraz, Barossa Valley

Ink black core with a deep purple rim. Blackberry, boudin noir and mint aromatics. Powerful and intense on the tongue with black and blue fruits in abundance. That said, there's as much intense black stone minerality and a smoked meat undertone that brings it all into balance. Tannins are ripe and grainy to control all the power presented to them, and it lingers for ages at the finish. A textbook Barossa shiraz that will cellar for many years 05 JAN 2023 Drink 2023–2043

Lehmann’s depth of reach into Barossa’s finest sites is evident here, upholding the depth of style & greatness of its flagship, even in a cooler season. A Magnificent full, vibrant purple hue, it’s packed with compact, dense, crunchy, bright black fruits of all kinds, dressed in a gown of finely woven tannins. High cocoa dark chocolate French oak has been perfectly tuned to the season. Integrity & persistence define great longevity.

Stonewell Shiraz – first made in 1987 – has one guiding principle: to be Peter Lehmann’s best shiraz of vintage. The name Stonewell was chosen in recognition of the high quality shiraz grapes being grown around Stonewell Road in the Marananga district of the Barossa.

This limited release Stonewell shows a deep, black centre with loads of dark, plummy fruit and a touch of chocolate and aniseed. The palate is richly structured with fine tannins and a long, persistent finish ensuring that the wine will drink beautifully over the next 5-10 years.
