Old PL, as he was known to all and sundry, was a mentor to so many Barossa winemakers. He was simply one of the great men of the Barossa. This is a wine demonstrating that the region is not all about Shiraz. In good years you get a wine like this – balanced, poised and powerful, with style. Loads of blackcurrant and dark chocolate with a thread of steely oyster shell adding to the tannin profile. Love it.

His love of wine is as strong as his love of the blues and tasting the thousands of wines that cross his bench each year allows him to indulge in both.
