Following a distinguished career, in the face of a serious overproduction of grapes and the real possibility of growers facing financial ruin, Peter Lehmann found some investment partners, established a consortium and constructed the Peter Lehmann wineworks in 1979. He was aware of the challenges facing a young winery and was prepared for a slow and steady growth. The Futures is a mostly Shiraz wine with a quarter of Cabernet, all harvested off premium, low yielding vineyards in the north and northwest districts of Barossa. Components are vinified on skins for ten to twelve days before pressing off and maturing in a selection of new and seasoned French oak hogsheads for eighteen months. Alcohol 14.5%
