- TASTING NOTE: "Sweet blackcurrant flavours with port wine jelly, mint, leafy herbs and dashes of coffee and sweet vanilla. It sits just above medium weight and feels balanced and well flavoured throughout. It's not a heavy wine but the quality here lives up to its asking price." 92 Points - Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion

ABOUT THE WINE: "Co-fermentation is a winemaking practice in which varieties are harvested and fermented together to allow the characteristics of each variety to meld together rather than the more common practice of blending post fermentation. Traditionally Merlot and Cabernet Franc ripen a week or so earlier than Cabernet Sauvignon in Coonawarra, so we allowed a few extra days for these varieties to stay on the vine waiting for an early patch of Cabernet Sauvignon to be ready. Fermented with a complexing strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the new wine was allowed to gain extra complexity and to allow tannins to round and
soften through 30 days of skin contact before pressing in early May. Maturation was 21 months in French Oak. No fining has been used." Leconfield -
ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Leconfield Coonawarra embraces the essence of the famous South Australian wine region by creating rich, elegant and sensual wines. Leconfield is famous for its Cabernet Sauvignon which is the flagship of the brand. Over the last two decades, and further reinforced through recent show success, the Riesling vines selected and planted by Sydney Hamilton in 1974 have yielded wines that have become benchmarks of the variety within the Coonawarra region. With a passion for Merlot, Paul Gordon's expert winemaking has seen the Leconfield Coonawarra Merlot become one of the best wines of the variety produced in Australia. Halliday
