The Leconfield Coonawarra Merlot is widely considered to be among the top handful produced in Australia. The 2020 vintage has an exceptional framework of acidity and fine tannin within which it is currently hoarding plenty of ripe plums, violet and tomato leaf. Allow the wine to breathe and they will be shared with you in abundance. Learn More

Another textural Rose from Leconfield with red fruits, florals, and melon. Winemaker Paul Gordon works 2 very different ferments here... one aromatic ferment... where juice was cold settled, racked with low solids and cold fermented using an aromatic yeast. The other portion was fermented with whole solids and natural yeast at a warmer temperature, then allowed to undergo malo-lactic fermentation to promote mouthfeel and length. The end result is stunning and complex. Learn More

Leconfield make consistently excellent Riesling from what are now 51 year old Coonawarra vines. This is a fine wine with talcum powder and lemon and lime aromatics. The palate is textural, offering minerality and excellent length. Elegant, fragrant, textural, long and lip smackingly delicious. Learn More

A remarkably fresh sparkling white made from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir fruit from the Coonawarra. It has a lively, creamy, mousse and a full, supple body. (And yes, much better looking than Abbott in Speedos). Enjoy it now in all its youthful glory as an aperitif, or with shellfish and seafood. Syn(ful) indeed! Learn More

A slightly pink sparkling this one. It’s labelled rosé but to us seems much more like a traditional cool climate Chardy Pinot sparkling and a bloody good one at that. It has a very fine bead, aromas of stonefruit and red fruits along with a little brioche. Flavours follow suit and introduce cherries and a creamy aspect. This is delicious. Learn More

A stunner off a single 80 year old Seppeltsfield Vineyard, offering red and black fruits, earth, spice and raspberry. Fine tannins with a gently grippy finish. This is beautifully aromatic and an absolute bargain. Only 600 dozen made. Learn More

A well-balanced, powerful, and fragrant Riesling. Lemons, spice, lime, and apples and all on the go here, leading to a citrus laden palate that is shot through with minerality and is as long as a long thing. The finish is slightly grippy, adding to the overall gravitas of the wine. A good’un. Learn More
