PETER LEHMANN Barossa Valley, South Australia The eminent wine writer, James Halliday, wrote of Peter Lehmann: "It is not often that a person becomes a legend in his own lifetime." Peter Lehmann is indeed a legend in the Australian wine industry and he is known, with affection and respect, as the "Baron of the Barossa". Peter Lehmann�s story and the story behind Peter Lehmann Wines are inseparable. In the late 1970s a serious overproduction of grapes brought great hardship to the Barossa grape-growing community. As winemaker at Saltram, Peter Lehmann had been buying grapes from some of these growers since 1960. To accommodate the glut the multinational company, which then owned Saltram, ordered him to go back on his word to the growers that he would buy their crop. This he refused to do. They were mates and Peter Lehmann was not prepared to stand by and watch them go broke. Calling on friends and relations, Peter Lehmann put together a financial package to form a company outside Saltram. It was a big gamble and, with his tongue firmly in his cheek, Peter named this new company "Masterson" after Damon Runyon�s fictional gambler, Sky Masterson. Wine was made, buyers were found and the growers were saved from financial ruin. Two vintages were produced in this manner but, meanwhile, there was another change in the ownership of Saltram. If the growers� livelihoods, and the vineyards, were to be protected in the long term, it was clear to Peter that he would have to strike out on his own. And strike Peter Lehmann did. He found investment partners, gathered around him a great team including Andrew Wigan (now Chief Winemaker), Mick Anderson (Engineer) and Leonie Lange (Winemaker) and built a modern winery on the outskirts of Tanunda in record time. All this was done in time for him to take the growers� fruit for the 1980 vintage. Peter kept his word to his growers who supplied all the fruit to the winery. It was a partnership between the expert Barossa vignerons and a highly skilled winemaking team. |
