Quintessential big and masculine Barossa Syrah, this wine exhibits the best qualities of old vines and careful winemaking; the wine has a dark blackish purple color, plenty of plum, mocha and spicy aromas and weighty, smooth black fruit and dark chocolate flavors with mouth-coating, soft tannins in the long sophisticated finish; one of the most respected and acclaimed winemakers in Southern Australia, all of Peter Lehmann wines are good, from the good value, entry level wines to some of Australia’s best red wines.

Allow 1 hour for breathing and serve at 18℃; this is a big wine that deserves boldly flavored meat dishes including game dishes like European Style Venison Stew and Anhui Style Braised Civet.

18 months in 90% French oak and 10% American oak.

Will evolve for another decade and can be cellared for 20+ years.
