Peter Lehmann established his namesake winery in 1979, driven in large part by a desire to support Barossa growers during a crippling grape oversupply at the time. The wine from the first vintage in 1980 was called ‘The Futures’ in a nod to the commitment Peter made to paying the growers once he had sold the wine. This arrangement was sealed with a handshake and Peter’s word was his bond. True to his promise, when the money started coming in, Peter made sure to pay his growers first.
Grapes were picked in the cool of the night and crushed immediately into stainless steel fermenters for 7-10 days. After pressing off skins, the wine was then matured in new and older French oak hogsheads for 12 months prior to bottling and release.
Peter Lehmann Hill & Valley Cabernet Sauvignon wine has classic varietal notes of cedar and tomato leaf, aromas of blackcurrant and menthol. A palate of cassis and liquorice is followed by mouth filling tannins, providing great length whilst carrying the blue fruits and subtle cigar box notes. This wine is a superb accompaniment to beef, rich game dishes or a good cheddar cheese.
