Peter Lehmann honoured

Peter Lehmann Wines, once stock-market listed, and since 2003 integrated in the Swiss-based Hess Group of companies, achieved an after tax profit of AUD 5.7 million (EUR 3.6 million) on revenue of AUD 51.6 million (EUR 32.2 million) for the full year ending 30 June 2009.

This compares with an after tax profit of AUD 9.6 million and revenue of AUD 61.9 million for the prior year. The company says it experienced the most difficult trading conditions in its past fifteen years of operation.

In a press release announcing the reception of the award, the company says that this prestigious award is proof that their “team” effort has been recognised. That’s why it is a source of satisfaction to Mr Lehmann that his eldest son Doug is Managing Director and youngest son Philip has joined the company as a winemaker working with long time multi-award winning Chief Winemaker Andrew Wigan, thus ensuring the family tradition continues.
