Leconfield Coonawarra Merlot 2019

Special Price $24.00 Regular Price

A beautifully complex drink this, one in a lineup of consistently outstanding Merlot. Yes, you read correctly, consistently outstanding Merlot. Straight face, honest! There’s chocolate and mint here, along with blackcurrants and plum, plenty of fine grained tannins and cedary oak – outstanding concentration of flavour. With a quick decant this is ready to go but will reward cellaring for 6-10 years.

If there is one combination to look for when browsing for a good medium-bodied red, Coonawarra, terra rosa and Cabernet Sauvignon is always a winner. Far down the line from Adelaide (about 390km southeast, a grape's throw from the border of Victoria), the name is Aboriginal for "honeysuckle", yet reds from the region are more known for flavours of plum and blackcurrant. The Coonawarra vineyard region is sparse, running along a thin 2km-wide ridge elevating it above surrounding swamp.
