Leconfield Coonawarra Cabernets 2022

This is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, which were all co-fermented, and the result is a wine that integrates and captures the subtleties and distinctive contributions of the three varieties. The colour is deep red with faint hints of crimson. The aromas display some lovely floral perfume notes, while the palate, while powerfully presented, has a charming elegance about it and that contribution from the other varieties to Cabernet is probably contributing to that. Hangs together so well, the tannins are so fine, the oak is liberal but well integrated, and the fragrance is just as well balanced. The fruit retains its powerful intensity. It’s a wine that has tremendous cellaring potential.
