Peter Lehmann Margaret Barossa Valley Semillon

Bottle notes

Peter Lehmann Margaret Barossa Valley Semillon is a premium, dry white wine that hails from one of Australia's most prestigious wine regions, the Barossa Valley. This wine is made solely from 100% Semillon grapes grown in the Margaret vineyard which is among the most highly regarded vineyards in the Barossa Valley. It is a crisp and refreshing wine with a pale straw colour and a delicate aroma of citrus and peach. The palate is lively and fresh with zesty lemon and lime flavours and hints of apple. Its crisp acidity and long finish make it an ideal accompaniment to seafood, particularly oysters and crustaceans. Overall, this wine is a perfect example of the elegance and finesse that can be achieved with quality winemaking techniques, and is sure to impress even the most seasoned wine connoisseur.

Tasting Notes

While bottle ageing in the Tanunda cellars, the wine has developed an attractive bright straw colour. Aromas of lemon curd, lime rind and honey are evident on the complex nose and are complemented by hints of lanolin and beeswax on a soft rounded mid-palate that superbly balances this lively, zesty wine.
