Matured 15 months in seasoned French oak puncheons and hogsheads. Graceful and accurate Barossa grenache in an enticingly medium-bodied guise. Alluring signature raspberry, poached strawberry and rhubarb fruit is the focus, sensitively and subtly supported by seasoned French oak, building more in texture than flavour. Finely crafted tannins carry a long finish. The definition of Barossa grenache.

Deep red/purple, excellent colour. The bouquet is lifted and sweetly fragrant, raspberry fruit with oak-char supporting: spicy, savoury and full of interest, with a good backbone of firm tannins in harmony with the whole. Rich, medium to full-bodied and satisfying. Long carry. A serious grenache, and amazing value. 26 MAR 2021 Drink 2021–2033 AUD 25.00 BOTTLE (STORE)

Founded in 1979, Peter Lehmann Wines (PLW) brings unmatched diversity, uniqueness and quality from more than 800 hand-tended vineyards across the length and breadth of all 14 Barossa sub-regions. The quality of PLW are a testament to the relationships, allowing PLW access to the region’s finest grapes. Following a period of uncertainty during the great fruit surplus of the late 1970s, PLW was founded to save the region’s grape growers from financial hardship. With Peter’s word as his bond, growers sold their fruit on a handshake agreement and many of these contracts are still honoured today.
The Bond has been crafted to honour Peter and his word, and as a testament to the relationships PLW continue to nuture to this day.
