Peter Lehmann Stonewell Shiraz – has been lauded as one of Australia’s greatest wines and one of the world’s greatest Shiraz for over 20 years.
The Stonewell is built to match rich meat dishes. Char-grilled medium rare scotch fillet with a creamy mushroom sauce, served with roasted baby carrots and duck-fat chat potatoes would be the ultimate
heavenly pairing.
Lifted powerful blackberry fruit, dark chocolate, raspberry, crushed rocks, and hint of smoky oak char on the nose. A palate of rich plums, spiced fruitcake, a slight minty freshness and an oily/inky
mouthfeel with a long & fine-grained tannic structure over a long, sumptuous finish. In short, everything is in its right place and it will be exciting to see how this wine continues to develop.
The story of Stonewell Shiraz began in 1987 when Peter Lehmann decided to make a special Shiraz – a wine of immense intensity and muscularity that would demand time in the barrel and bottle before release. The wine was named ‘Stonewell’ after the district that he believed best showed the characters admired most in Barossa Shiraz. This tradition has continued and each vintage the best Shiraz from their legacy of growers’ Barossa vineyards is chosen to create Stonewell. Usually no more than a dozen small, old vineyards are selected each year, the oldest planted in 1885.
In the beginning they made just one Shiraz, the grape variety that has defined the Barossa as one of the world’s great wine regions. But they knew Shiraz that came from some vineyards was better than others – smaller, deeper in colour and more intensely flavoured – ‘Little Black Jewels’ they called them. Stonewell has been lauded as one of Australia’s greatest wines and one of the world’s greatest Shiraz.

Peter Lehmann’s personal bravery, loyalty and commitment to the Barossa forged the foundations of the winery that bears his name, built in 1979 to protect the livelihood of his mates, the independent Barossa grape growers, and their treasured vineyards. His passion for, and commitment to, the Barossa is infectious and continues with everyone today that is associated with Peter Lehmann Wines, now under the guidance of son Doug Lehmann.
The Barossa Valley is one of the major regions in Australia, where many of the major wine companies are based. It is believed the first vineyards were planted in the 1840s by Silesian migrants (who settled in Bethany). There followed a rapid expansion of plantations. The early styles of wines produced were heavy dry red wines and fortified wines that were popular both domestically and in Britain. After the Second World War the styles shifted to lighter table wines with production of Chardonnay, Riesling, Semillon, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. The Barossa Valley is home to some very well known names such as Seppelt, Wolf Blass and Penfolds as well as many smaller producers. The climate is Mediterranean with hot dry summers and cool wet winters, making it ideal for viticulture. The main wine styles: White – Semillon, Riesling, Chardonnay, Semillon-Chardonnay blend; Red – Shiraz (full bodied & ripe) with Old Vine Shiraz a speciality of many vineyards, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Shiraz-Grenache-Mataro blend, Cabernet-Merlot blend.
