Clancy’s Red Blend 2016

Peter Lehmann Wines was founded in 1979 by the now legendary Peter Lehmann. The quality of our wines is a testament to the integrity of the relationships Peter built with grape growers across the region throughout his winemaking career.

Clancy’s is a celebrated Barossa Red Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz
and Merlot. The highly awarded and delicious wine is an introduction to the
timeless craft of the Peter Lehmann winemaking community. Perfectly crafted
blending makes Clancy’s a crowd-pleaser every time. Every bottle of Clancy’s
benefits from true collaboration between winemakers and growers who all
believe in making honest wines that showcase the best of a cross-section of
vineyards throughout the Barossa, South Australia.

Vintange Conditions: The 2016 vintage in the Barossa began with warm
and dry weather, no disease pressure and one
magnificent rain event at the end of January. This
was perfectly timed for veraison of the grapes and
flavour development

Vineyard or Region: A blend of Cabernet (37%), Shiraz (34%) and Merlot
(29%) sourced from vineyards scattered throughout
South Australia’s iconic Barossa Valley floor.

Winemaking & Maturation: The grapes are individually vinified to the completion of fermentation. Following blending of the varietals,
the wine is matured in new and old French and
American oak hogsheads for 12 months.

Colour: Blush red with hints of purple.

Nose: Lifted leafy and cassis notes from the Cabernet
predominate the aroma profile, with touches of spice
and red fruits from the Shiraz and Merlot.

Plate: Unmistakably Cabernet driven, this is a plush wine
rich in red fruit flavours, toasted oak and gentle
sweeps of spice.

Peak Drinking & Cellaring Potentia: Enjoy now or can be cellared until 2026.

Enjoy: Always a welcome guest at a barbecue, this wine
pairs sublimely with a few slices of homemade pizza.
