It is significant that the majority of vineyards from which Peter Lehmann sources fruit, are classified as mature, to very old, many are ungrafted and dry grown. The Adelaide Hills were one of Australia's first winegrowing regions, the area was rediscovered as perfect for white wine and replanted to Sauvignon Blanc twenty years ago. Harvests are kept small through vigorous pruning and close cropping, yielding outstanding white wines of great purity. Grapes are picked throughout the cool of night, crushed, chilled and left on skins overnight to enhance flavour. Fruit is treated to a cool vinification in controlled fermenters, followed by clarification and early bottling to capture the pristine Adelaide Hills vitality.
