Peter Lehmann Wines, one of the Barossa Valley’s most respected wineries, has signed a two year agreement to partner with one of Australia’s favourite chefs and restaurateur extraordinaire, Matt Moran.
Moran will collaborate with Peter Lehmann’s winemakers to create memorable wine and dining moments, listing award-winning Peter Lehmann Wines at key Matt Moran venues, such as the Rockley Pub in the Central Tablelands of NSW.
The partnership commences with activity surrounding the celebration of 30 vintages of Stonewell, one of Peter Lehmann’s flagship wines and one of the world’s greatest Shiraz.
Nigel Westblade, Chief Winemaker at Peter Lehmann Wines, says that Matt Moran and the wines share a commitment to quality and innovation.
“Together, we will bring the best of Australian wine and cuisine to tables across the country, and showcase the unique character of South Australia’s Barossa Valley, where our wines are crafted,” he said.
Moran is renowned for championing the ‘paddock to plate’ ethos, which emphasises the importance of locally sourced, sustainable produce that has seasonality front of mind.
Similarly, Peter Lehmann was committed to quality and provenance. In the early years, when local grape growers were struggling to make ends meet, Peter Lehmann stepped up to create a wine that not only sourced local grapes but embodied the spirit of the local community, creating a wine legacy like no other.
Moran said: “I have always admired Peter Lehmann Wines and their commitment to creating exceptional wines that reflect the unique landscape of the Barossa Valley. As someone who is passionate about creating unforgettable dining experiences, I believe that wine plays an essential role in bringing people together and elevating any meal to a truly special occasion.”
