Understanding Peter Lehmann, Stonewell Shiraz, Barossa Valley, South Australia
The vineyards for Stonewell Shiraz are strategically located in some of the most coveted areas of the Barossa Valley, known for their ancient, mineral-rich soils. These soils, along with the region’s warm climate, contribute to the development of Shiraz grapes with exceptional depth and flavour concentration. The winemaking process includes meticulous fermentation and extended maceration on grape skins to extract deep colours and robust tannins. Maturation takes place in French oak for 18 months, a step that adds layers of complexity and subtle spice nuances. The wine is then carefully bottled with minimal filtration to preserve its inherent character. Stonewell Shiraz displays dark fruit, notes of chocolate, liquorice and spice in a full-bodied, richly-textured palate with well-balanced acidity and robust tannins. This wine promises excellent longevity and evolution in the bottle.
