Peter Lehmann Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Cabernet Sauvignon grown to good Barossa vineyards can make the most solidly structured wines, conspicuous for their longevity. Peter Lehmann is recognised the world over as one of Australia’s great wines. Robert Parker has called it "One of the world’s finest Cabernet Sauvignon values!” The 1993 won Best Cabernet in the World at the London International. Peter Lehmann assembles batches from small vineyards into an intensely coloured Cabernet wine that oozes blackcurrants, has a richly textured palate, superb length and beautifully balanced tannins

Peter Lehmann's wines are crafted with grapes from almost a hundred selected independent growers, some quite small in production, as well as fruit grown to four company owned vineyards. Many of the Lehmann grower's families have worked the same vineyards for five or six generations. These Barossa vignerons tend to hundreds of individual vineyards that run the gamut of the Barossa. Peter Lehmann retains the best Cabernet sites in the Barossa. Fruit is fermented on skins for seven days. Following pressing, clarification and blending, the Peter Lehmann is treated to maturation in a combination of French and American oak hogsheads for twelve months prior to bottling. Alcohol

Deep black centre with a dark red rim. A classic blackcurrant nose, showing Barossa regional definition. A beautifully structured wine with undertones of chocolate and black forest fruits on the palate, it follows through with hints of violet, mint and superb cassis/ currant flavours, finishing satisfyingly firm. A wine of extraordinary velvet richness, voluptuousness and superbly controlled power, the palate is seamless, a delight to sip.
