Producer Information

Peter Lehmann Wines was established in 1980 in Tanunda, South Australia, by its eponymous founder, who was widely known as "the Baron of the Barossa". There is a wide range of wines made at Peter Lehmann but the icon wine is the Stonewell Shiraz, a wine that includes grapes from Peter Lehmann's own vineyard, Stonewell, in the Marananga district of Barossa Valley. The winery sources grapes from more 140 different grape growers throughout the Barossa and Eden Valleys and the Adelaide Hills – estate vineyards only account for two percent of the entire production. Peter Lehmann began work at Saltram Wines located in the Barossa Valley, one of the oldest estates in the region. Over the next 20 years Lehmann worked as the winemaker for the estate, buying fruit from a host of growers. In 1979, Saltram Wines' new owner began to make wines exclusively from estate vineyards, so Lehmann created his own winery in order to keep the growers in business. The relationships Lehmann had built with the growers he effectively saved paid off, and the company had enviable access to some of the oldest vines and best grapes produced in the Barossa. Lehmann Wines predominantly source Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling and Chardonnay for their wines, but also have access to a plethora of other varieties – including Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Tempranillo, Semillon, Moscato, Pinot Noir and Gewürztraminer. The Stonewell is a limited release and only made in the years where grapes reach required standards. Quantities depend on the number of vineyards that have ripe enough Shiraz – in 2011 only two vineyards out of the entirety of the Lehmann portfolio contained premium grapes and thus tiny quantities of the wine were made. As well as vineyards in the Barossa Valley, Peter Lehmann also has access to grower grapes in the Adelaide Hills and Eden Valley – there is an entire range for these wines known as the H and V (Hills and Valley) release. Wines within this range are made from Riesling, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Lehmann died in 2013 and, following the sudden death of his son and heir Doug Lehmann, the company was sold to Casella Family Brands, owners of the Yellow Tail brand.
