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.

Includes 6% shiraz, hand-picked, berry-sorted by machine, open-fermented with cultured yeast, 10 days on skins including 3 days cold soak, matured in French barriques for 16 months. Clare cabernet doesn't come much better than this - rich and patterned, with layers of blackcurrant and admirable tannin control.
