94/100 — James Halliday
(1997 Vintage, Tasted: 16 Oct 2002)
“Medium red-purple; smooth raspberry and plum fruit is woven through controlled oak; the palate is filled with plum, cherry, mint and chocolate flavours, all in abundance, the tannins still softening.”

About the Winery
Peter Lehmann Wines was established in 1980 in Tanunda, South Australia, by its founder known as “the Baron of the Barossa”. Stonewell is the winery’s icon Shiraz, sourced from vineyards in the Marananga district of the Barossa Valley. The winery sources fruit from more than 140 growers throughout the Barossa and Eden Valleys and the Adelaide Hills. Peter Lehmann spent two decades as winemaker at Saltram Wines before founding his own winery to continue supporting growers. The company was later acquired by Casella Family Brands.
