Leconfield Sparkling Blanc de Blancs NV

Here’s a wine that shows the versatility of South Australia’s Coonawarra, well to the south of the state. It’s a non-vintage style, so that additional reserve base wine, with its oak aging, has certainly contributed to the depth and complexity evident immediately on the nose and then confirmed on the palate. Lifted citrus and nutty notes appear on the nose, with subtle, understated lemon rind and stone fruit. The palate is generously flavoured and held with a tight, crisp acidity, displaying a combination of yeasty, bready characters with a tightening citrus tang.
