LeasinghamClassic Clare Shiraz 1997
About this product
There isn't a more aptly named wine available than the Classic Clare from Leasingham. An archetypal Clare Valley Shiraz from premium, low yielding vineyards produces a red of concentration and supreme agability. The 1997 received acclaim upon release and has benefited from more than a decade of ageing. Enjoy the dusty tannins and black fruits that play nicely together to form a Shiraz that is perfect for opening tonight alongside rich cuisine.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.
