2017 Masters Mentor Cabernet Sauvignon

The Masters wines are named after a person whom, or event that, has played an intrinsic role in the Peter Lehmann story. Crafted from the classic Barossa varietals, the wines are released with 5 years of bottle age and will continue to age gracefully for many years. Our founder, Peter Lehmann, mentored countless people over his 50-year career and this wine is named in his honour. Mentor Cabernet Sauvignon is made as the best expression of vintage. By drawing fruit from a number of Barossa sub-regions, it displays immense  varietal definition with added complexity of fruit from low-yielding old vines matured in French oak barrels.

This limited release is our best Barossa Cabernet of vintage. Dense and vibrant purple hue. It captures immense varietal definition with added complexity aromas of lifted blackcurrant, vanilla and chocolate with a youthful ripe and dark plum spectrum. The fruit weight is immense, however it melds together with mouth coating tannins, dusty French oak and a beautiful acid core.
