Winemaking Notes
Fresh Coonawarra Shiraz was made in a fine, elegant style and matured in oak. Secondary fermentation has provided natural effervescence and the wine has been liqueured to give a creamy palate. 2% vintage port was blended in the liqueur to the wine to provide complexity.
Background Information
The Leconfield Coonawarra estate was established in 1974 by pioneering oenologist Sydney Hamilton.
