Peter Lehmann Stonewell Shiraz 2022 - 6 x 750ml Bottles Description
On the nose, dark berries and plum are complemented by subtle spice and hints of vanilla oak. The palate opens with ripe blackberry and cherry fruit, grounded by fine-grained tannins that provide structure without harshness. Mid-palate reveals soft pepper, liquorice, and a whisper of anise, creating layered complexity. The finish is clean and persistent, with lingering notes of dark fruit and gentle tannin grip.
With age, expect the fruit profile to deepen and integrate. Secondary characteristics - leather, tobacco, earth, and dried herb notes - will emerge gradually, adding tertiary complexity. The wine's natural acidity and robust tannin backbone ensure graceful evolution over 10–15 years, developing a silky texture while retaining freshness and definition.
The Stonewell is built to match rich meat dishes. Chargrilled medium rare scotch fillet with a creamy mushroom sauce, served with roasted baby carrots and duck-fat chat potatoes would be the ultimate heavenly pairing.
