2008 Mentor Cabernet

For his style, and skill as a winemaker, and for his backing of the Barossa and its growers, Peter Lehmann has come to be known by many as ‘Mentor’.

His conviction that the Barossa is capable of making the best wines in the world has always extended far beyond Shiraz – he refers to the region as a winemaker’s paradise. So, when it came to selecting a wine to dedicate to Peter, we sought to make a statement by looking beyond Shiraz and choosing Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon.

Over the years we have identified vineyards that repeatedly produce the best Cabernet wines, many planted over 60 years ago. These older, low yielding vineyards produce fruit that displays the classic lifted cassis and violet characters of great Cabernet.

Mentor is fermented and matured for 18 months in 100% French oak hogsheads, which integrates seamlessly with the powerful flavours and structure of the wine. A Limited Release wine that will continue to age gracefully in the cellar for 10 years or more
