Leconfield Shiraz

Leconfield Shiraz 2008

AWARDS
5 Stars (John Livingstone-Learmouth, Decanter UK)
93 pts (James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion)

Colour:
Full dense red with vibrant scarlet highlights

Bouquet:
Concentrated dark fruits with hints of pepper and mocha; this wine has the unmistakeable characteristics of rich McLaren Vale Shiraz. Oak has contributed spicy overtones of nutmeg, vanilla and cinnamon. In its youth, this wine has vibrancy and freshness.

Palate:
The palate is full bodied with long fine tannins to give a wine of great depth, finesse and style. The concentrated fruit is balanced with clean acidity

Food Suggestions:
The wine will best match full flavoured meals, such as tender beef, or full flavoured vegetarian dishes.

Cellaring Potential:
In crafting this wine, we have allowed for sufficient elegance and softness to make it appeal in its youth, but with the structure to reward 10 or more years of cellaring.

Winemaking Notes:
The fruit sourced fruit from two estate vineyards has been selected to give the depth for which this wine is renown. The backbone of the wine comes from vines planted in the late 1800's which is intense, yet has fine long tannins. The inherent fruit vibrancy of the wine comes form our 'Farm' block. A portion of the wine was barrel fermented to integrate the oak. Prior to bottling, the wine received a traditional fining with egg white to aid clarification and soften the tannins.

Background Information:
Leconfield was established in 1974 by pioneering oenologist Sydney Hamilton who, at 76 years of age, had the dream to produce the classic Australian red wine. Leconfield McLaren Vale Shiraz provides a sibling to the classic Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, for which the estate is famous, and the Coonawarra Merlot.

Oak Treatment:
100% for 16 Months
53% 2YO French
27% New French
20% 2-3 American
