Lovely Setting

We arrived in the Borossa Valley wine growing region from Adelaide by train to Gewler then by bus to Tanunda. It was a wonderful warm day and we took a walk to some winery's near out motel.

This shot was taken on our walk from Langmeil Winery to Lehmann Winery. This is in the grounds of Lehmann Winery. It was was so green and lash.. but all this dries out in summer! This river was flooded the week before!

Lehmann was born in Angaston, South Australia in Barossa Valley on 18 August 1930. His father was Lutheran Pastor Franz Julius Lehmann, and son may have joined father in the ministry but for Franz' sudden death in 1945, aged 55. Peter soon dropped out of school “ostensibly to be some support to my recently widowed mother,” he says.

In 1947, he started work at the Yalumba winery under Rudi Kronberger. From 1960 to 1980 he was Winemaker/Manager at Saltram Wines. He parted company with Saltram to become the Chairman of Peter Lehmann Wines, a role later filled by his son Doug.

Peter Lehmann has been described as one of Australia's most respected and innovative wine makers. His success in winning international trophies has been noted by the Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation.
