2022 Barossan X Radical Shiraz

Peter Lehmann himself believed rules existed to be bent, broken, blended and amended. We’ve let our winemakers run wild to create these eclectic flavour explorations, marrying the rich flavours of Barossa Shiraz with the exuberance of New World varietals, creating a fusion of flavours that challenge tradition. There’s a splash of modern attitude in every sip of these experimental varietals, creating a wine for the bold and curious palate. This is the excitement your tastebuds have been searching for.

We invite you to Rewrite the Rules and enjoy it your way.

WINEMAKING & MATURATION
The grapes were picked in the cool of the early morning at optimum fruit flavour ripeness and fermented on their skins for 7 days. After undergoing malolactic  fermentation in barrel, components were aged for a further 6 months in a variety  of French and American new and seasoned oak hogsheads prior to parcel  selection, blending, fining and bottling in April of 2024

TASTING NOTE
Medium intensity ruby-red with bright garnet hues. On the nose, rich aromas of blueberry, plum and dark fruits intertwined with violet and spice from Touriga Nacionale. The palate is full-bodied with a textural midpalate dominated by bright red fruits and with nuances of dark fruits, chocolate and cedar oak. The finish is vibrant and satisfying, leaving a long trail of generous juicy fruit and full palate tannin.

Cellar until 2032. Italian foods pair perfectly with the rich notes from the Touriga. The fruit intensity compliments tomato pappardelle ragu or a slow-roasted fig and gorgonzola pizza.
