Peter Lehmann The Barossan Shiraz 2022

Peter Lehmann The Barossan Shiraz 2022 delivers bold character without bruising your wallet … This Barossa red brims with ripe black cherries, cassis, and a whisper of smoked herbs, unfolding into notes of clove, mocha, and vanilla from a generous swirl in the glass. It’s velvety but not flabby, with a backbone of spice that gives it both power and polish. Pair it with pulled pork tacos, a mushroom ragù over creamy polenta, or aged cheddar for a fireside nibble. Peter Lehmann’s legacy is blended into every drop – he famously stood by Barossa’s growers when no one else would, turning excess grapes into iconic wines that now carry the story of resilience and regional pride. Drink: 2025-2030. Score – 93. (nataliemaclean.com, March 29, 2025)
