Peter Lehmann The Pastor's Son Barossa Shiraz 2023

Rich, oak-aged Barossa Shiraz commemorating the great Peter Lehmann. A classic Aussie red wine
Famous since the 19th century, Barossa Shiraz is a classic on the international stage, and Peter Lehmann is one of its best known producers. The Pastor’s Son has knockout richness and depth, with lots of dense blackberry, dark chocolate and spice.
The late, great Peter Lehmann was a fifth-generation Barossa winemaker and a legend in his own lifetime. The son of a Lutheran preacher, he became a champion of small independent grape growers in the region, buying their grapes through the tough days of the 1970s when the big wineries reneged on their contracts. This earned Peter the title ‘Baron of the Barossa’. Those growers never forgot his generosity and always stayed loyal. With a fabulous wine range including the world-class Stonewell, no one did more to elevate the Barossa to cult status than Peter. His generous spirit lives on in this hearty, big spice Shiraz. Rich, chocolatey, with a peppery vanilla edge, it’s supreme with rare beef, roast lamb or veggie casserole with dumplings.
