Peter Lehmann
Margaret Limited Release Barossa Sémillon
Barossa, South Australia, Australia
Very delicate, nearly feeble.
Creamier than a Hunter one, but just whispering its lanolin, meringue like scent and flavor.
Mineral far finish.
Still very enjoyable

At the Peter Lehmann Dinner at the Downs Club. Interesting to compare this top quality Barossa Semillon with the Hunter Valley style. These are more approachable young (from the warm valley floor) than the searing acidity of young HV Semillon. Soapy lanolin nose with notes of beeswax and a blue cheese component. Fuller on the palate than HV Sems. Zero oak influence. Very good. We also had the 2010 of this wine but I didn’t get a photo unfortunately. It had more lanolin, wet straw and beeswax than the 2012 with at least another 5 years in front of it. Giving it 95 points and a Gold Medal. The 2005 is still winning Trophies at Wine Shows around the country.
