The 2022 VSV 1893 Shiraz is a true expression of Barossa Valley Shiraz, crafted from exceptional vineyards across the region’s diverse sub-regions. VSV 1893, or Very Special Vintage, represents the pinnacle of winemaking at Peter Lehmann - reserved for exceptional vintages and made only when the season delivers fruit of extraordinary quality.
The 2021/2022 growing season began with challenging conditions before settling into a cooler, more stable finish. Mild, dry days and cool nights slowed the final stages of ripening, allowing the grapes to develop remarkable flavour, intensity and natural acidity.
WINE MAKERS NOTES
Rich and generous, this Shiraz opens with dark fruit, spice and deep plum aromas. The palate is powerful yet beautifully layered, with flavours of ripe plum, dark chocolate and warming spice. Fine, elegant tannins provide structure and length, with a lingering finish that rewards slow enjoyment.
A wine of depth, character and remarkable ageing potential, the 2022 VSV 1893 Shiraz is a fitting expression of Peter Lehmann’s enduring commitment to the Barossa and to making exceptional wines from exceptional vintages.
