In the face of a serious overproduction of grapes and the real possibility of growers facing financial ruin, Peter Lehmann found some investment partners, established a consortium and built the Peter Lehmann Wines winery. It was 1979.
The first vintage was processed in 1980 and in 1982 the winery was formally named Peter Lehmann Wines. From then on, its wines have been marketed under the Peter Lehmann Wines label.
Cabernet Sauvignon grown in the Barossa produces beautifully structured wines with hints of violet and mint, and having superb cassis blackcurrant on the palate. They are noted for their longevity and give a handsome reward to those who choose to cellar these wines.
