Peter Lehmann Botrytis Semillon 2015 375mL

Peter Lehmann's story with Noble Semillon goes back many years, when Andrew Wigan had the good fortune of experiencing vintage within the vineyards at Chateau d'Yquem, home to the greatest sweet white wine in the world. What he had assumed to be spoilage, was in fact Botrytis Cinerea. Traditionally, Botrytis affected wines are the most complex and longest lived of all. The Barossa Valley is an ideal region for late harvest, given the quality of local Semillon and the warm conditions that continue well into vintage.

With the Barossa’s warm lingering summers, it is a natural home for Botrytis cinerea, used to masterfully craft this wine and show diversity of Semillon. A dessert wine with a luscious palate of dried apricots, lemon marmalade and toffee characters, balanced by a soft finish of lemon acidity.
