Peter Lehmann Margaret Semillon (Formerly Reserve) 2005
A succulent, riper semillon that retains elegance and restraint. It’s already showing appealing development, with a creamy, floral perfume of fresh melon, apple and pear backed by creamy vanilla oak and nutty, waxy complexity. Underpinned by a mouth-coating chalkiness, it’s long and generous, with juicy melon and stonefruit flavours, pleasing oakiness and creaminess, finishing with a fresh, soft acidity.

Winery
Peter Lehmann
Now owned by the Casella family, whose YellowTail label is one of the most extraordinary success stories in the history of wine, Peter Lehmann has the chance for a regroup. This has been one of the most consistent and influential Australian wine brands since the mid 1980s, but recent marketing decisions have resulted in no less than fifteen different sub-brands, several of which compete against each other in the same retail space. Couple this with a legacy of constantly changing names and labels and I'll admit to total confusion -Ę and it's my job to try and understand these things! I hope that the new marketing team are able to rationalise and simplify the Lehmann offerings for the wines certainly deserve their chance.
