SKU: LECOLRIES24
Leconfield Coonawarra was established by noted oenologist Sydney Hamilton (1898-1987) when in 1974, at an age of 76 years, he selected 30 ha of fine ‘Terra Rossa’ country in the southern half of the Coonawarra strip. Over the years the Leconfield Riesling has taken its place amongst the best examples in Australia. The 50-year-old Riesling vineyard comprises some of the original planting’s on the estate; mature vines which produce a crop of intensely flavoured fruit with wonderful varietal character every year.

”The great white grape of Coonawarra shines here in a top vintage year. It’s a cracking wine with old vines (planted 1974) bringing that extra touch of class, not to mention intensity of fruit character, to the glass. Aromas of honeysuckle, Thai basil, ginger, lime, citrus and apple. Flavours are equally intense and concentrated with a thread of beeswax that brings that added sense of complexity. This is quite the all-round Riesling experience a la Coonawarra, promoting the region’s signature lemon, lime and grapefruit pith chalky texture against a fresh and electric acid profile.”
