What I love about the wine industry?
That I get to grow grapes and make wine for a living.
What wine out of the ones that you have made has the most interesting story behind it – and what is that story?
Peter Lehmann Shiraz celebrates the foundation gesture that Peter Lehmann intended when he and his team set out to preserve the Barossa’s vineyard heritage. Today this is realised by the purchasing of grapes and making a wine from every district in the Barossa. Few winemakers in the world get to so comprehensively source fruit from one region.
