The Masters wines are the top tier of Peter Lehmann's original classic Barossa varietals, made for the long haul & released with bottle age to capture their full potential. These wines are named after a person or event that has played an intrinsic role in the Peter Lehmann story. Over his 50-year career, Peter Lehmann has inspired countless people by sharing his talent, wit & passion for winemaking. It is these characteristics we honour with Mentor. For this wine, we blended Barossa Cabernet with Shiraz & a dash of Malbec to create a wine with layers of texture & flavour. By drawing fruit from a number of Barossa sub-regions-each with their own unique terroir-the Mentor captures the immense regional definition of a great Barossa red. Having worked closely with the growers over the years, they share Peter's belief in growing wine, not just grapes, & work with the winemaking team to keep yields low & produce a complex wine, with rich & firm dark fruit flavour. The 2008 Mentor is a classic example of great Barossa Cabernet showing deep colour, intense dark forest fruits & a firmly structured finish. Mentor is an ideal accompaniment for rich duck, goose & game dishes. It is superb with oxtail, braised lamb shanks.
