Peter Lehmann Portrait Shiraz is a Barossa Valley classic, delivering the region’s hallmark intensity with approachability. Rich, dark fruit leads the palate—blackberry and plum—supported by licorice, cocoa, and integrated spice from oak. Full-bodied, with ripe tannins and a long, savory finish, it pairs well with grilled beef, lamb, braised dishes, and aged cheeses. Ready to drink upon release but with solid ageing potential in favorable vintages.
