Peter Lehmann was a mentor to many, and so this wine is named in his honour. Fruit is sourced from Barossa sub-regions, bringing together the characters of old vines from a range of soil types. The aromas are initially youthful and fruit-driven with lashings of black cherries and blackcurrants. Time in the glass reveals dark chocolate, dried mint and thyme and the earthier savour of Dutch liquorice. Despite the intensity, the refreshing acidity and fine tannins gives the wine more lightness and finesse on the palate than expected.
Nicole loves wine. So much so that she gave up a successful career in Pharmacy, perfected her spitting technique, and moved from sunny Queensland to the wine-drenched laneways of Melbourne. Stints in hospitality, wineries, retail, sales and marketing filled the next few years while Nicole built her knowledge and searched for the right path. She completed the Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET) Diploma in 2016 and became a certified WSET Educator the following year. She now juggles a number of roles including teaching people about wine, curating wines lists for restaurants and bars, judging in Australian wine shows and, of course, writing. In 2016 she won the Negociants Working With Wine writing award and has since contributed to Gourmet Traveller WINE, Halliday Wine Companion Magazine and Nourish Magazine.
