Wine writer Windsor Dobbin asks why this doesn't sell at a much higher price, and we concur. 35 to 120 year old vines yielding at a minuscule 1.25 tonne per acre, 40% new oak, 90% of which is French, black cherries, spice, raspberries, olive tapenade and black pepper. A stunning wine already, which will improve with cellaring. Learn More

84% Shiraz and 16% Grenache sourced from 50-100 year old vines yielding at less than 1.5 tonnes per acre. Old oak here and mostly French, a wonderful fragrance of plum and lavender leads to a palate offering the same plus raspberries, anise, pepper and more. Crazy that a product with this fruit source, which is beautifully executed, retails for just $25 a bottle. Learn More

An incredible Leconfield Cabernet from one of the great vintages. Blackberries and plums, mint, coffee, tomato leaf, violet, cedary French oak and whisper fine tannins. The balance so perfect that it makes a powerful wine seem almost effortless. A wonderful drink now and over the next couple of decades. Learn More

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

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

This is a punchy, richly fruited fizzy Shiraz, with a bit of oak and liqueur to give it creaminess and balance. Raspberries and cholocate lead the charge, well supported by other berry fruit flavours. Served chilled as a perfect match with duck terrine, chicken liver pâte and venison dishes. Learn More

A tightly coiled Cab that needs a little coaxing by way of an hour or 2 in the decanter. While that's happening, turn your thoughts to lamb and what you might be eating in an hour or 2 when the wine is cherry ripe. Funnily enough, we found cherries here, along with blackcurrant, cocoa, tomato leaf and a plushness emerging from an intense baseline once the wine had gulped a little air. You can see the promise on opening, but post decanting, the Trophy and gold medals this wine has won make a great deal of sense. Learn More

A lovely Pinot Grigio, well named, as it takes after the lean racy styles which come out of Italy. Fresh, crunchy Nashi pear, pear tannins, a little pepper and a hint of citrus here. Perfect with seafood, or as an aperitif. Learn More
