Peter Lehmann Mentor 1999 #16161

Whilst it can be said of Australia’s young yet illustrious wine industry that many have made contributions of excellence, Peter Lehmann is in a category of his own. Not because he sought the status of legend, but because his individual style, character and integrity as a winemaker, champion of the grower and as a man among men, it simply came to pass. In his beloved Barossa Valley and beyond he is to those who know him, Mentor. Each year, the Peter Lehmann winemakers identify the best Cabernet Sauvignon of vintage for blending with selected varieties to create a multi-dimensional wine of great distinction.
