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. Most of the components that have made up this wine have been allowed to complete fermentation in predominantly French oak and were blended with a small percentage that had extended contact with grape skins for several weeks. Harvest was on the 10 and 11th of April. Oak maturation was in predominantly new hogsheads which had several workings to soften the tannins and fill-out the flavour. The wine received a light egg fining and gentle filtration before bottling on the 27th February 2009. 

Colour is deep intense red. Intense ripe rich cassis fruit nose with a hint of mint, showing balanced aromatic oak giving spicy cinnamon/vanilla aromas. Full flavoured rich fruit palate with fine long tannins, the palate has excellent richness which reflects the early warmer vintage but still retains the elegance expected from Coonawarra Cabernet. The palate finishes with clean acidity. Very approachable on release; however it has the structure to age beautifully over the next ten years. 13.4%. Now - 2018
