Peter Lehmann The Barossan Shiraz 2017
Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaThis is sourced from vineyards across the different sub-regions of the Barossa Valley to produce, in their words, THE Barossan. The result is, well, a classic Barossa shiraz: jammy black fruits and eucalyptus, backed by no shortage of coconut and chocolate from a combination of American and French oak. The palate is not as dense or concentrated as the nose would suggest, though there's still a sweetness to the fruit and it does clock in at 14.5% abv. 2017 was a cooler vintage, relatively speaking, and that's helped to keep this fresh and balanced.
