Peter Lehmann Grenache/Syrah/Mouvedre 2003
Rhone Red Blends
from Barossa Valley, Australia
winemaker's notes:
Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre, were some of the first red grape varieties planted in the Barossa by the early pioneers. They soon discovered that these varieties were complementary when blended in careful proportions to give a wine which is soft, complex and very accessible.
Grenache provides softness and palate sweetness. The Shiraz brings opulence, richness and chocolate characters, whilst attractive peppery wildness is delivered by the Mourvedre – together they harmonise to give a delicious red wine, so satisfying and easy to sip.
Blend: 34% Grenache, 33% Shiraz, 33% Mourvedre.
