1996 Peter Lehman Stonewell Shiraz Barossa

Producer Notes

Peter Lehmann has become a rather iconic figure in the Australian wine world. His loyalty to growers when larger vineyards were dropping them in favour of growing grapes in house meant Lehmann always had access to some of the best fruit in the region. Combined with his wine making expertise he consistently produced good quality wines that remained good value. Since his death in 2013 and the sudden death of his son and heir Doug Lehman in 2014 the company has been owned by Yellow Tail. Time will show whether this change in ownership affects the overall product but pre-2014 vintages still offer value and quality. The big Barossa Shiraz from the late 90’s and early 2000’s are perfect drinking now and tend to fall well under the price tag of some of the big players.
