Description
Leconfield Coonawarra cabernet sauvignon
COLOUR: Full deep red.
BOUQUET: Rich ripe cassis and blackberry fruit nose integrated with cedar, nutmeg and
cinnamon nuances through maturation in predominantly French oak. The wine proudly
shows its Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon pedigree.
PALATE: The palate displays an excellent depth and persistence of rich dark mulberry
fruit with ripe, long tannins. It is full flavoured yet retains elegance and finesse.
Fantastic nose, wonderful dark colour, superbly balanced earthy, eucalypt and strong blackberry flavours. Magnificent!

WINEMAKING NOTES: Leconfield Cabernet Sauvignon has been the flagship of Leconfield since the first release in 1977. Our philosophy is to produce a Cabernet Sauvignon displaying both depth and elegance where oak complexes and enhances the fruit but is not allowed to dominate.
Several components that comprise this wine completed fermentation in French oak while the balance had extra time on skins before pressing and oak maturation.
We believe that this 2013 vintage
will offer excellent cellaring opportunities over the next decade and beyond. 2013 was an
excellent year in Coonawarra, characterised by a warm and dry summer and cooler
autumn. Good fruit set saw healthy yields which ripened evenly and resulted in red wines
of excellent depth and concentration.
OAK TREATMENT: 100% matured in oak for 16 months
