A beautiful red in colour and richness. This Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon would be next best addition to your wine and cheese night. Perfectly matched with rich cheddars and strong cheeses, or even game and red meats. Full of flavour and perfectly balanced with firm but soft tannins.
From the Winery
Peter Lehmann Portrait Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from all corners of the Barossa Valley, taking full advantage of the variety’s multiple characteristics.
Vineyards from the north, which are higher and enjoy cooling gully winds, capture the perfumed varietal character, while the southern vineyards are richer, and create the backbone of this complex and rewarding wine. This wine is beautifully structured and well noted for its longevity, rewarding handsomely with 5-10 years of cellar time.
The highly rated 2013 vintage in the Barossa has produced red wines, rich in both colour and flavour. The 2013 Portrait Cabernet is deeply coloured and shows black forest fruits leading to a richly structured palate with firm but soft tannins. While drinking beautifully now it is a wine that can be cellared with confidence for a further 5-8 years if desired during which time it will soften and become more complex.
This is a superb accompaniment to beef, rich game dishes or a good Cheddar
