LeconfieldMerlot 2019
About this product
An elegant yet full flavoured Merlot from Coonawarra
Region: Coonawarra, South Australia.
Colour: Full Red with crimson highlights
Nose: Full fragrant rich fruit nose showing perfumed fruit with hints of plum, mocha, allspice and vanilla. Oak has been allowed to influence, but not dominate the fruit. In its youth, this wine has vibrancy and freshness and will develop cigar box complexity.
Palate: An elegant yet full flavoured Merlot that shows great fruit concentration. There is the inherent fruit sweetness and persistence expected from Coonawarra with fine long silky tannins that fill out the palate.
Oak: New French oak.
Food Match: Full flavoured poultry and modern Asian style cuisine.
Drink Until: 2028
Fruit for this wine was sourced from our mature Merlot vines on our Leconfield blocks, planted in 1982, 1990, 1994 and 1999. Part of the wine was allowed some barrel ferment in new French oak. We maintain our aim of making a rich Merlot with great depth of flavour and structure, in which oak plays an important, but not prominent role in the character of the wine. The wine received a racking during its maturation, then ultimately blended.
