Product Description
92 Points by Wine Companion "Never a wallflower but particularly concentrated in this vintage, the driest and earliest for the Barossa. Inky purple hue with intense flavours of licorice and roasted nuts, lots of oak flavour subsuming the fruit. Powerful structure but the drying tannins know now bounds. They are the sticking point."

Product details
"The story of Stonewell Shiraz began in 1987 when Peter Lehmann decided to make a special Shiraz - a wine of immense intensity and muscularity that would demand time in the barrel and bottle before release. The wine was named ‘Stonewell’ after the district that he believed best showed the characters admired most in Barossa Shiraz.
This limited release Stonewell has a dense deep black centre with a deep garnet rim. The wine exhibits aromas of dark plum and chocolate with hints of mint. Its structure is superbly taut with intense depth of fruit reined in by the firm tannins. A wine made in strictly limited quantities, this Stonewell release is a wine for posterity and may be cellared with confidence until 2035."
