NOTES
Peter Lehmann Wines has always had enormous faith in Barossa Semillon and believe it is a unique Australian white wine style. This wine is named in honour of ‘Margaret’, Peter Lehmann’s wife, who is a proclaimed champion of Barossa Semillon and a feisty supporter of all good things Barossan, including Peter himself.
Our faith has been challenged over the past 30 years, but at Peter Lehmann Wines, we made a commitment to our growers to champion Barossa Semillon to the world with all the energy and passion we could muster. In so doing these old vineyards are preserved by our growers and we’re rewarded with access to a rich choice of vineyards to select the very finest Semillon for the Margaret Barossa Semillon each year. Released as a 5 year old wine the Margaret is a fruit driven, deliciously dry, white wine that reflects our obsession with Barossa Semillon and our commitment to champion this wine style to the world.
TASTING NOTES
The colour is vibrant gold with tinges of green at the edges. The bouquet is lively showing lemon zest, with hints of lanolin and beeswax. A superb expression of Semillon, remarkably youthful and fresh, whilst paradoxically showing added complexity from bottle-aging. The zesty, tight mineral acidity indicates that this wine will continue to age gracefully for many years.
REVIEWS
Bright gold, with a green hue; the bouquet is layered with straw, lemon, mineral and a touch of marzipan; fresh and lively with a long road to travel, the texture is refreshing, and the drive on the back of the palate truly harmonious; long, toasty and fresh all rolled into one complete package. Remarkable. Screwcap.11.4% alc. Rating 96 James Halliday Australian Wine Companion 2010
