Peter Lehmann Semillon 2004
Varietal: Semillon
Vineyard: Peter Lehmann
Region: Barossa Valley, Australia
As Peter Lehmann says, "Our style of Barossa Semillon sits beautifully between the freshness of Riesling and the greater weight of Chardonnay. It is a very exciting Australian white wine." The 2005 vintage produced white wines of great delicacy and wines which exemplify their varietal characters. While wonderful to sip in its youth, Chief Winemaker, Andrew Wigan, prophesies a great future in the bottle for the 2005 Peter Lehmann Semillon.
Color: Vibrant pale straw with green tinges.
Bouquet: Clean-cut aromas of lemon flower, hints of grapefruit and bees wax.
Palate: A very elegant and delicate Semillon with persistent lemony lanolin characters on the middle palate. It is tightly structured in its youthful zestiness and finishes with clean, crisp, yet soft acidity. The wine is unoaked and totally fruit-driven.
Lightly chilled, Semillon is a delicious aperitif, and is a perfect partner for seafood and chicken, as well as caesar salad.
