SKU: LECSYDCAB17
The Sydney Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon represents the pinnacle of Leconfield and the very best of the world's most famous grape varietal, Cabernet Sauvignon. Leconfield Coonawarra estate was established in 1974 by noted oenologist, Sydney Hamilton who at the age of 76 and a winemaking career spanning nearly 60 years, still yearned to make a classic Australian Cabernet Sauvignon. Selecting Coonawarra as the region to fulfil his ambitious dream, Sydney began to plant his vineyard and built his winery naming it Leconfield, after an English ancestor, Lord Leconfield. This wine pays homage to Sydney’s dream.

Food Pairing

Rosmary and garlic crusted, roasted rack of lamb with all the roasted vegetable trimmings. Rich tomato, garlic and zucchini tagliatelle, well seasoned and topped with flat leaf parsley and parmesan cheese.

”Matured initially in new Taransaud oak for 15 months, then transferred to 3yo Burgundian oak for its final sojourn of 7 months. The wine is then left in bottle for 2–3 yrs prior to release. The cool 2017 vintage has laid the foundation for a wine of detail and weight. It is layered with graphite tannins, cool mineral acid and dark berry fruits. This is a traditionally styled Australian cabernet with minty overtones and savoury, leathery spice. Lovely.”
