7 41st Barossa Wine Show 2017 Wines of Provenance Results A pleasure to judge the Provenance Class for the second year! This is an exercise in not only wine quality but house style, style evolution and ageability. To view a region through the prism of three vintages is an instructive exercise and the wines on the bench guided us well! Robust discussion of five shortlisted wines led us to a taste off between two a white and a red. All wonderful wines of their variety and vintage and progression through maturity. Glory to Barossa. 1 Peter Lehmann Wines 2016 Wigan Riesling Shortlisted 2012 Wigan Riesling Shortlisted 2002 Wigan Riesling Shortlisted 2 St Hallett The Yalumba Wine Company Forbes Wine Co Burge Family Winemakers Peter Lehmann Wines St Hallett Eden Valley Riesling Eden Valley Riesling Eden Valley Riesling Pewsey Vale Vineyard The Contours Riesling Pewsey Vale Vineyard The Contours Riesling Pewsey Vale Vineyard The Contours Riesling Eden Valley Single Vineyard Riesling Eden Valley Single Vineyard Riesling Eden Valley Single Vineyard Riesling Olive Hill Semillon Olive Hill Semillon Olive Hill Semillon Margaret Semillon Margaret Semillon Margaret Semillon Blackwell Shiraz Blackwell Shiraz Blackwell Shiraz 2 Peter Lehmann Wines 2014 Stonewell Shiraz Shortlisted 2010 Stonewell Shiraz Shortlisted 1999 Stonewell Shiraz Shortlisted 3 Burge Family Winemakers Draycott Shiraz Draycott Shiraz Draycott Shiraz 4 Langmeil Winery The Freedom 1843 Shiraz The Freedom 1843 Shiraz The Freedom 1843 Shiraz 7
