Leasingham Wines is a historic winery from Australia's Clare Valley, established in 1893, known for producing high-quality wines, particularly its premium "Classic Clare" range and "Bin" series of wines, including Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Riesling. The brand has a history of show success, notably winning the Jimmy Watson Trophy in 1995 for their 1994 Classic Clare Shiraz.

Bright, light to mid-straw colour, with a remarkably fresh aroma for its age, with dried floral notes and barely any toastiness yet. There are chalky, slaty-mineral notes intertwined. The palate is very taut and refined, crisp and highly tensioned, the finish very dry and long. The acidity cleanses the mouth and refreshes the finish. Tremendous intensity and persistence. A wine with a future that is drinking superbly now. This is a great Australian riesling. Date: Jan 2021; Alcohol: 13%; Price: $58.00; Drink: 2021-2033; Rating: 97 Points; Huon Hooke; The Real Review

A citrus blossom bouquet is the start for a wine that has continued to defend the faith. Citrus cymbals ring on the palate where a faint touch of CO2 has been retained as fuel for the long journey ahead. Joined with its '05 and '12 predecessors to win the White Wine Provenance Trophy at the National Wine Show '18.
