LeasinghamClassic Clare Shiraz 2008
About this product
Only the best fruit from Leasingham's Clare Valley vineyards is used for the Classic Clare Shiraz. 2008 was a very good year in the region, which translated into fleshy wines with great lengths. This Classic Clare is a medium bodied Shiraz with vibrant red fruits and blackcurrant aromas, distinctive crush mint leaves with deep intense flavours of cedar, mocha and exotic spice. The palate is structured and lengthy. A beautiful rewarding wine for careful cellaring.

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.

Good colour; in the time-honoured Classic Clare style, but with a particularly good structure and texture to what is a medium-bodied wine showing a mix of juicy red and black fruits and positive tannins.
