{"product_id":"peter-lehmann-the-black-queen-sparkling-shiraz-6-bottle-case","title":"Peter Lehmann The Black Queen Sparkling Shiraz (6 Bottle Case)","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeter 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from four long term growers of premium Shiraz; Schrapel, Hampel, Gladigau and Grope planted in the Ebenezer and Light Pass districts. Fruit for the Black Queen is selected based on a silky tannin profile and sweet red berry fruit expression. Fermented on skins for 10 days, pressed, clarified and then matured for 12 months in older French oak hogsheads. The base wine was then bottle-fermented and aged on its yeast lees for 36 months. After disgorgement, a small percentage of The King Vintage Port was used as expedition liqueur to build complexity and enhance the rich Christmas cake fruit characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeter Lehmann The Black Queen Sparkling Shiraz\u003c\/strong\u003e wine is deep crimson in colour with red and purple hues. Lifted chocolate, vanilla, dark fruits and a touch of Christmas cake on the nose. Soft supple and silky tannins, the wine is abundant in rich dark blue fruits with a lovely mouth filling generosity. Gentle beading and delicate, soft mousse makes the palate luscious. A brooding, savoury dark chocolate backbone of flavour balances with sweet perfumed oak notes leading to a great length of blackberry jam and satsuma plum conserve. The fruit sweetness is apparent, but balanced by the complexity of fruit-weight and time spent on tirage prior to disgorgement. This wine can be enjoyed at multiple times of day- accompanied at breakfast by a bacon and egg roll doused in tomato sauce- at lunchtime with Turkey and cranberry sauce, or dessert time with a dark and creamy chocolate mousse or brownies and whipped cream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note all cases can take 7 days for delivery.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003eAustralia\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eRegion: \u003c\/strong\u003eBarossa Valley\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrape: \u003c\/strong\u003eShiraz 100%\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75cl \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14% \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55526768279937,"sku":"APL045 BCWMAR26","price":178.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/2893\/files\/PeterLehmannTheBlackQueenSparklingShiraz.jpg?v=1776180198","url":"https:\/\/www.kwoff.co.uk\/products\/peter-lehmann-the-black-queen-sparkling-shiraz-6-bottle-case","provider":"Kwoff","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
