Along the straight road that takes you through the heart of the Coonawarra there
is only one bend colloquially known as Warner's Corner, where the vineyards of this
classic Coonawarra wine are situated. Warner's Corner is produced by Leconfield
Wines from its estate vineyards. Leconfield is situated in the heart of Australia's
famous Coonawarra with its rich Terra Rosa soil over limestone providing the ideal
environment for growing premium Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyard was founded
in 1974 by pioneering oenologist Sydney Hamilton who at 76 years of age had the
ambition to produce the classic Australian red wine. Time has validated his choice of
Coonawarra as a fantastic place to do just that. Today the estate remains a family
wine busines owned by Dr Richard and Jette Hamilton and is planted predominantly
to Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller patches of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Shiraz, Petit
Verdot and complimented with the white varieties of Riesling, Chardonnay and
Sauvignon Blanc. The Hamilton family celebrate 181 years of grape and wine growing
in Australia in 2018.
