The Barossan Shiraz by Peter Lehmann from South Australia reveals a dense, deep purple color in the wine glass. This red wine from Peter Lehmann showcases aromas of Morello cherries, black cherries, plums, and damsons, complemented by oriental spices, vanilla, and gingerbread spice. This Australian wine captivates with its elegantly dry character, bottled with a mere 1.8 grams of residual sugar. As one would expect from a high-quality wine, this Australian gem delights with impeccable balance despite its dryness. After all, a great taste doesn't necessarily require a lot of residual sugar.

Once again, hints of damson and black cherry emerge, while mineral notes from the predominantly sandy and sandstone soils join in the lingering aftertaste.
Vinification of Peter Lehmann's The Barossan Shiraz This red wine places clear emphasis on a single grape variety, namely Shiraz. Only top-quality grapes were used to craft this wonderfully powerful, varietal wine by Peter Lehmann. The grapes thrive under optimal conditions in South Australia, with their roots delving deep into soils composed of clay, sand, sandstone, volcanic rock, and black earth. After the harvest, the grapes are promptly transported to the press house, where they undergo careful selection and gentle crushing. Fermentation takes place in small oak barrels at controlled temperatures, followed by 12 months of aging in quarter-size casks made of French and American oak.
Food pairing for Peter Lehmann's The Barossan Shiraz Experience this Australian red wine ideally served at a temperature of 15-18°C, paired with dishes such as spaghetti with caper-tomato sauce, lamb stew with chickpeas and dried figs, or stuffed bell peppers.
