Peter Lehmann Stonewell Shiraz 2001

Full Bodied Red

Our Price: £29.99 per bottle

Stonewell is made from the very best of the superlative Barossa Shiraz vineyards available to Peter Lehmann. The grapes are drawn only from low-yielding vineyards in the drier western areas of the Barossa Valley. These vineyards, some planted well over 100 years ago, produce sparse bunches with tiny berries – small black jewels – the secret of Stonewell Shiraz. The 2001 vintage, was very low yielding because of the long hot dry growing season in the lead up to harvest. Consequently, this 2001 Stonewell Shiraz is a wine of great depth and intensity. An explosion of dark chocolate and prunes reined in by fine, dusty tannins and harmoniously integrated oak. It is a wine of superb structure, and deep velvet fruit so characteristic of Stonewell Shiraz.
