Peter Lehmann H&V Shiraz 2011
Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaThe Barossa H&V (Hill and Valley) is sourced primarily from two premium vineyards in the Light Pass and Ebenezer sub zones of the northern Barossa. The cool 2011 vintage has produced a deeply coloured, limited-release shiraz offering medium rich textures, dark plum and chocolate flavours with polished, fine-grained tannins throughout the finish. You can drink it now or lay it down for another 4-5 years and let it put on some added weight and complexity. The wine was fermented on skins for seven days to maximise colour and flavour and then aged for 12 months in French oak hogsheads. Grilled sausages, or lamb chops would be an excellent match.
