Peter Lehmann's masterful release

Peter Lehmann has released the inaugural The Master's Collection for 2021 with plans to release the collection of wines annually.

The wines are crafted to express the benefits of time and patience and will cellar exceptionally well under the right conditions. Each year the wines are released with bottle age which provides layers of complexity; the whites with a minimum of five years, and the reds with a minimum of three.
