Leconfield Coonawarra Cabernet Franc

Leconfield Coonawarra Cabernet Franc 2022 is a single vineyard, single batch wine showing earthy complexity with notable dried sage and subtle oak presence that enhances fruit fragrance. The wine presents aromas of ripe plum, dark cherry skin, black tea leaf, sage, and leather, balanced by moderate, dusty, and stony tannins. On the palate, it is round, long, textured, and elegant with a silky, creamy finish. It has been well-received for its persistence and refined structure, making it a classic example of Coonawarra Cabernet Franc with a price point around $36.

We believe this to be a very good example of the variety, without the firm tannins often associated with Cabernet Sauvignon. It has elegance and strength. Jancis Robinson has described it as ‘subtly fragrant and gently flirtatious’, a more ‘feminine side of Cabernet Sauvignon’.
