Margaret is an enigma, one of the finest Semillons in the country, pre-aged prior to release and sold for a fraction of its true worth.
For such a wine to hail from the oldest Semillon vines on the Barossa floor (some more than 80 years of age) is a paradox of the highest order.

These wines are named after a person or event that has played an intrinsic role in the Peter Lehmann story.
Margaret Lehmann is the great woman beside the great man: wife, business partner, and champion of Peter Lehmann Wines and the Barossa.
Founder Peter Lehmann and then Chief Winemaker, Andrew Wigan rewrote the rulebooks of Barossa Semillon in the early 90s, eschewing oak and opting for an early-picked style that lent itself to ageing.

While bottle ageing in the Tanunda cellars, the wine has developed an attractive vibrant green/gold colour.

The bouquet shows hints of lemon flower together with some waxy, honeyed development so typical of great, aged Semillon.

The grapes were picked early in the season to retain more natural acidity and the palate is dry with a zesty finish.

The result is Margaret Semillon.
