Peter Lehmann Light Pass Shiraz 2012
Light Pass, Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaOver the past decade, the Lehmann winemaking team has identified a number of special vineyards in the Barossa and Eden Valleys that consistently stand out on the tasting bench. Each year fruit from the 'District Wines' is set aside and processed in small batches to highlight the individual site in question and is recognised on the label. That said, not all wines in the District Series have to be from a single site. The Light Pass district of the Barossa has played a central role in Lehmann wines for decades. In 2012 this District pick has a fabulous fragrance in the glass combining fine chocolate and red fruits. The finish is persistent but supple. The well-established shiraz vines are grown by the Scholz family of Light Pass where evening cool winds contribute to the structure and acidity of the wine in this Barossa district.Tasted: 30 March 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $30.00 | 750ml | Cellar Door |
