Peter Lehmann 8 Songs Shiraz 2022 is part of the Master’s Collection — a series inspired by significant people and moments in Peter Lehmann’s life, each wine as unique and distinctive as the stories behind them. Named after one of Peter’s favourite musical works, ‘Eight Songs for a Mad King’, this is a Barossa Valley Shiraz of genuine depth and character. Deep crimson with purple hues; rich and fragrant with satsuma plum, blueberry, and dusty cedar; a palate all about texture and mouthfeel, with rich ripe plums, dark chocolate, and a pure, long, savoury finish.
Appearance
Deep crimson with purple hues — the rich, inviting colour of a Barossa Valley Shiraz harvested in the cool of the morning, fermented on skins for up to two weeks, and matured for 18 months in French oak hogsheads. Dense, vibrant, and immediately compelling.
Aroma
Rich and fragrant — abundant satsuma plum, blueberry, and dusty cedar notes. The expressive, layered bouquet of a Barossa Shiraz selected at annual classification tasting and matured in 40% new French oak hogsheads, with the depth and complexity that 18 months of careful barrel ageing delivers.
Palate
All about texture and mouthfeel — rich ripe plums and dark chocolate with a pure, fruited, long savoury finish. The concentration and structure of a Barossa Shiraz fermented on skins for up to two weeks, with the refinement and integration that new French oak and patient maturation bring. A wine of genuine distinction.
Pairs With
Slow-roasted lamb, char-grilled beef, braised short rib, aged hard cheeses, and rich game dishes — the texture, dark chocolate depth, and long savoury finish make 8 Songs Shiraz a deeply satisfying and natural partner for the finest food at the table.
