3 BOTTLES AVAILBLE.
Stonewell is made from the very best of the superlative Peter Lehmann Barossa Shiraz vineyards. The grapes are drawn only from low-yielding vineyards in the drier western areas of the Barossa Valley. These vineyards, some planted well over 100 years ago, produce sparse bunches with tiny berries – small black jewels – the secret of Stonewell Shiraz.
The wine is made solely from low-yielding old vineyards of the Stonewell, Ebenezer and Moppa subdistricts of the Barossa Valley. The fermentation is finished in 85 per cent new American oak and 15 per cent French oak in which it is then matured for two years prior to bottling. It is then given three years bottle-age before release. The wine has a supremely illustrious show record, with many major trophies to its credit. James Halliday
