The colour is deep red-black leading to a bouquet showing hints of chocolate & dark plums. These flavours extend to the palate which is richly structured with a fine, persistent finish
- a wine of great style & power. The 2006 vintage is highly rated by the winemakers & has produced wines of great depth, flavour & richness. Extremely low yielding mature vineyards in the Barossa Valley districts of Kabiningie, Dorrien, Freeling & Greenock. Fermented & macerated on skins for up to 2 weeks with some partial barrel fermentation. After pressing & clarification, matured in 90% French & 10% American oak hogsheads for approx 18 months. Savour with rich game dishes, roast beef, & hard cheese such as Parmigiano Reggiano, aged cheddar or Grana Padana. Stonewell Shiraz is Peter Lehmann Wines best wine of each vintage & one of the worlds great Shiraz. It is the most powerful expression of Shiraz we make from our growers vineyards. The pedigree of these vineyards & the knowledge that has been passed from each winemaking generation at Peter Lehmann Wines to the next, assures us these will be wines of great longevity. The story of Stonewell Shiraz began in 1987 when Peter Lehmann decided to make a special Shiraz
- a wine of immense intensity & muscularity that would demand time in the barrel & 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 & 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. Located in the harder country, these are some of our lowest yielding vineyards. The berries are small & sparse with crops typically less than 2 tonnes per acre.
