Peter Lehmann, Stonewell Shiraz other_regions_italy I like both the intensity

I like both the intensity and the polished mouthfeel that add appeal of the sappy and built-to-age finish that is hugely long but not really austere

although you do feel some of the extra heat of the vintage

a little reminiscent of 2001 in this winery

The finish is soft and luscious

ending with a long aftertaste of sweet fruit and savory flavors

Peter Lehmann, Stonewell Shiraz other_regions_italy I like both the intensityPeter Lehmann famously championed old vine Barossa Shiraz in the 1980s when growers were paid to grub it up. Created in 1987, this classic barrel fermented 'best of the best' Shiraz comes from a dozen or so top vineyards, the oldest planted in 1885. Exuberant toasty, mocha oak (mostly French, with 10% American) and blueberry and black olive fruit make for a plush, perfumed wine, with a long chassis of fine grained tannins.
