This dessert style wine has been made from Riesling grapes allowed to gain sweetness and richness through Noble Rot which naturally occurred in 2021. It is a luscious style with apricot flavours. The viscosity is balanced with a clean acid finish that keeps the wine vibrant and lively.

Fragrant nose showing characteristics of rose petals, dried apricots with some honey and citrus.
Palate:
Medium sweet palate showing good lusciousness yet retains a fine acid finish to balance the palate.

The wine has been made in a medium body style with good acidity that should allow several years cellaring.
Winemaking:
The 2021 Vintage in Coonawarra has the hallmarks of an incredible vintage, with superb conditions and fruit of outstanding quality and quantity being harvested. The season was mild with very stable weather conditions. The temperatures during the growing season were mild with only minor fluctuations and no major rainfall events. Dry conditions continued right through summer, and consequently, berries remained relatively small with thick skins. Coonawarra did receive several small rainfall events during the growing which was beneficial to the general vine health and soil moisture. These climatic conditions lead to long and steady increases in maturity levels, allowing winemakers to pick at optimum levels for ripeness and flavour.
Background:
Leconfield is situated in the heart of Australia’s famous Coonawarra with its rich Terra Rosa soil over limestone providing the ideal environment for growing premium Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyard was founded in 1974 by pioneering oenologist Sydney Hamilton who at 76 years of age had the ambition to produce the classic Australian red wine. Today the estate remains a family wine business owned by Dr Richard and Jette Hamilton. The Hamilton family have been growing grapes and wine in Australia since 1837.
