PETER LEHMANN MARGARET SEMILLON 11% 75CL

Description

Grape - Semillon

11% BAV

Margaret is an enigma, one of the finest Semillons in the country, pre-aged prior to release and sold for a fraction of its true worth.
For such a wine to hail from the oldest Semillon vines on the Barossa floor (some more than 80 years of age) is a paradox of the highest order.

While bottle ageing in the Tanunda cellars, this wine has developed an attractive bright straw colour. Aromas of lemon curd,
lime rind and honey are evident on the complex nose and are complemented by hints of lanolin and beeswax on a soft rounded mid-palate that superbly balances this lively, zesty wine.

These wines are named after a person or event that has played an intrinsic role in the Peter Lehmann story.
Margaret Lehmann is the great woman beside the great man: wife, business partner, and champion of Peter Lehmann Wines and the Barossa.
Founder Peter Lehmann and then Chief Winemaker, Andrew Wigan rewrote the rulebooks of Barossa Semillon in the early 90s, eschewing oak and opting for an early-picked style that lent itself to ageing.

The result is Margaret Semillon.
