Notes:

The story of Stonewell Shiraz began in 1987 when Peter Lehmann decided to make a special Shiraz - a wine of immense intensity and muscularity that would demand time in the barrel and bottle before release. The wine was named ‘Stonewell’ after the district that he believed best showed the characters admired most in Barossa Shiraz.

This tradition has continued and each vintage the best Shiraz from our legacy of growers’ Barossa vineyards is chosen to create Stonewell. Usually no more than a dozen small, old vineyards are selected each year, the oldest planted in 1885. The berries are small and sparse with crops typically less than 1.5 tons per acre.

The pedigree of these vineyards and the knowledge that has been passed from each grape growing generation to the next assures us that Stonewell Shiraz is a wine of great longevity that can be cellared with confidence for many years to come.

PETER LEHMANN -  'The Shiraz grapes are selected from low yielding Barossa vineyards where some of the vines are 100 years or older. Stonewell Shiraz is the best, most concentrated Shiraz made at Peter Lehmann Wines each vintage and is released as a 5 year old. The wine is barrel fermented and aged in French and American oak hogsheads for 18 months, then bottle matured for a further 3½ years prior to release. The wine is beautifully balanced, rich in flavour with a fine mouth filling finish. It is our flagship wine. The colour is deep red-black leading to a bouquet showing hints of chocolate and dark plums. These flavours extend to the palate which is richly structured with a fine, persistent finish - a wine of great style and power. The 2006 vintage is highly rated by the winemakers and has produced wines of great depth, flavour and richness. Savour with rich game dishes, roast beef, and hard cheese such as Parmigiano Reggiano, aged cheddar or Grana Padana.
