Richard Hamilton has some of the oldest vines in South Australia, including the vineyard that produces the ## Products - [Richard Hamilton 'Long Stem' Sparkling Fiano NV](https://richardhamiltonwines.com/product/richard-hamilton-long-stem-sparkling-nv/) - Richard Hamilton ‘Long Stem’ Sparkling Fiano NV Fresh and crisp, with flavours of citrus and fresh nectarine from Fiano while a component of Pinot Noir, contributes notes of strawberry and a pale rose blush. Maturation on yeast lees and the addition of an aged reserve wine provides additional textural creaminess. Serve in a long-stemmed glass as a refreshing aperitif or as an accompaniment to any elegant dish. - [Leconfield Coonawarra Petit Verdot](https://richardhamiltonwines.com/product/leconfield-coonawarra-petit-verdot/) - VINTAGE 2022 Petit Verdot is only rarely released as a single variety and was originally planted on the Leconfield Coonawarra vineyards as a blending component for Cabernet Sauvignon. It is traditionally a late maturing variety and our tiny vineyard consists of only two rows. Our Petit Verdot from our Coonawarra vineyards is fragrant and perfumed showing hints of mocha coffee to augment the perfumed nose overlayed with subtle fine oak. Full flavoured yet elegantly structured with fine chamois tannins, the palate of this wine has flavours of cherry plums with hints of spice. - [Leconfield Coonawarra Cabernet Franc](https://richardhamiltonwines.com/product/leconfield-coonawarra-cabernet-franc/) - VINTAGE 2024 "This is such a beautiful example of this largely right bank variety working its magic in Coonawarra. It's immediately perfumed, with notes of red berry and violet, with a subtle red berry influence. The palate has a deep intensity, but there's also such a silky, satiny, textural component to the medium body. Everything is so beautifully balanced, with a seamless integration of oak, supporting those fine Coonawarra tannins and carrying the palate through to a super long finish. This is pure Coonawarra elegance. 96 Points." Ray Jordan, WinePilot Colour - Medium to full red with bright scarlet highlights. Bouquet - An earthy complexity with a touch of dried sage. Oak plays a subtle understatement to the fragrance of the fruit Palate - Round, long, textured, persistent, elegant, silky, creamy. Food Suggestions - Fettucine carbonara, cassoulet, vintage cheddar. Winemaking Notes - Single batch, single vineyard. The fruit was harvested and fermented as a single batch with extended maceration on skins. Following pressing and malolactic fermentation, the wine was racked to 1-6 year old French and American hogsheads for 15 months maturation to allow the fruit to shine through without excessive oak influence. The wine was racked several times to soften the tannins before ultimately being prepared for bottling in July. We believe this to be a very good example of the variety, with softer tannins and good persistence. It has elegance and strength. Jancis Robinson has described it as 'subtly fragrant and gently flirtatious', a more 'feminine side of Cabernet Sauvignon'. - [Leconfield Cabernet Sauvignon](https://richardhamiltonwines.com/product/leconfield-cabernet-sauvignon-2022/) - Vintage 2022 Leconfield Cabernet Sauvignon has been the flagship of Leconfield since the first release in 1977. Our philosophy is to produce a Cabernet Sauvignon displaying both depth and elegance where oak complexes and enhances the fruit but is not allowed to dominate. - [Leconfield Coonawarra Noble Riesling](https://richardhamiltonwines.com/product/leconfield-coonawarra-noble-riesling-2021/) - This dessert style wine has been made from Riesling grapes allowed to gain sweetness and richness through Noble Rot which naturally occurred in 2021. It is a luscious style with apricot flavours. The viscosity is balanced with a clean acid finish that keeps the wine vibrant and lively. - [Richard Hamilton 'Lot 148' Merlot](https://richardhamiltonwines.com/product/richrichard-hamilton-lot-148-merlot/) - VINTAGE 2022 The 2021 Richard Hamilton 'Lot 148' Merlot is an elegant, medium bodied wine showing a silky texture and soft acidity with cherry and plum characters. - [Richard Hamilton 'Farm Twelve' Mourvèdre](https://richardhamiltonwines.com/product/hoodie-with-logo/) - VINTAGE 2020 We selectively picked from our 0.8 ha single vineyard, separating low yielding vines to go into this wine. The grapes were de-stemmed and fermented in a single small fermenter and pressed once the sugar had been depleted. We wanted the fruit of the grape to shine so maturation was in older oak to gain complexity but not detract from the primary fruit. Mourvèdre is grown widely in southern France and in Spain (where it is known as Monastrel). Along with Grenache it is typically one of the last grape varieties to ripen in our McLaren Vale vineyard. - [Richard Hamilton 'Ghost Hill' Shiraz](https://richardhamiltonwines.com/product/richard-hamilton-ghost-hill-shiraz/) - VINTAGE 2023 On McMurtrie Road McLaren Vale a majestic hill rises from our Hut Block that is home to our finest Shiraz producing vineyards. We named this hill ‘Ghost Hill’ as a link back to the Hamilton Family’s roots in Dover, UK, where they embarked the 'Katherine Stewart Forbes' to make their journey to South Australia in 1837, when Richard Hamilton 1st planted South Australia’s original wine producing vineyards. The story goes that a young woman would meet the ghost of her lover, a dispatch rider who died in the course of his duty, at night at the foot of Ghost Hill near the old Church. - [Richard Hamilton 'Burton's Vineyard' Old Vine Grenache](https://richardhamiltonwines.com/product/richard-hamilton-burtons-vineyard-old-vine-grenache-nv/) - VINTAGE 2023 Our Grenache exhibits a wonderful balance of sweet raspberry and plum fruit with an emphasis on luscious palate texture. Maturation in large vats ensures oak plays a minimalist, supportive role. Named in honour of Dr Richard Hamilton’s father, Burton Hamilton (1904 to 1994) who was a viticulturist in South Australia for his entire working life. The site, selection, and resultant wine are a true expression of McLaren Vale terroir and fitting tribute to Burton’s pioneering spirit - [Leconfield Coonawarra Chardonnay](https://richardhamiltonwines.com/product/leconfield-coonawarra-chardonnay/) - VINTAGE 2024 Chardonnay has an extensive history in Coonawarra and at Leconfield, where vines are planted in a lower dip of the vineyard. Here, full advantage is taken of the cool-climate attributes of both the region and site. Fruit delivers crisp and fresh structural acidity, an underlying minerality and a combined citrus and stone fruit flavour spectrum. A modern style Chardonnay with ripe tropical fruits overlaid with complexed yeast aromas and a subtle background of vanilla from subtle use of French oak. Medium body with persistent flavours finishing with a bright, fine, mineral acidity. - [Leconfield Coonawarra Merlot](https://richardhamiltonwines.com/product/leconfield-coonawarra-merlot/) - The Leconfield Coonawarra Merlot is recognised as a benchmark for both the variety and the region. This is a flavoursome Merlot with full flavours of ripe plums and round, long tannins that provide persistence and length. It retains elegance and finesse. Vegan Friendly. - [Leconfield McLaren Vale Shiraz](https://richardhamiltonwines.com/product/leconfield-mclaren-vale-shiraz/) - VINTAGE 2023 Our 'Farm' block just to the south of the McLaren Vale township provides the black loam soil over clay that limits yields and encourages small berries to produce the rich Shiraz fruit for this wine. Harvesting was at night to take advantage of cooler temperatures. Bunches were destemmed then allowed to ferment for 7-10 days on skins before pressing. The oak used for maturation was new and used French to aid the perception of fruit sweetness. Fine wine received a light fining to polish the soft tannin structure. This Shiraz has great depth of flavour while retaining elegance. Tannins are soft yet persistent and a fine acidity provides finesse with a clean tight finish making it an excellent food wine. Vegan Friendly - [Richard Hamilton 'Les Collines' Pinot Gris](https://richardhamiltonwines.com/product/richard-hamilton-les-collines-pinot-gris/) - VINTAGE 2025 The cool Adelaide Hills region has become renown for producing fine, elegant wines. 24 hours of skin contact prior to pressing was provided to enhance palate weight and texture. Free run and a pressings component were kept separate before the latter being fined and blended back. Two thirds underwent cool fermentation while the balance fermented in old oak. A fresh and vibrant wine of nectarine and pear complemented by a hint of ginger. Soft and round mouthfeel with bright and refreshing length of flavour. - [Richard Hamilton 'Almond Grove' Chardonnay](https://richardhamiltonwines.com/product/richard-hamilton-almond-grove-chardonnay/) - VINTAGE 2024 The 2024 Almond Grove Chardonnay has lovely elegance with persistent stone fruit flavours. it is dry in style, medium bodied and finishes with a clean, bright, soft acidity.

With its origins being in southern Italy and Sicily, it was renowned for producing full, nutty styles of wine. Cool fermentation has allowed Fiano to produce more elegant styles and its natural inclination to retain good acidity levels makes it an ideal white grape for the McLaren Vale region. ‘La Valle’. Italian for ‘The vale’ showcases freshly cut pear and peach blossom with hints of honey. the fine textured palate is clean and refreshing, making it an ideal match with lighter Mediterranean dishes, or simply to be enjoyed on its own. - [Leconfield Coonawarra Sparkling Blanc de Blancs](https://richardhamiltonwines.com/product/leconfield-coonawarra-sparkling-blanc-de-blancs/) - Leconfield Coonawarra Sparkling Blanc de Blancs celebrates the elegance and purity of Chardonnay grown in the premium cool climate of South Australia’s Coonawarra region. Cold harvesting from our estate vineyards ensured freshness, while a secondary malo-lactic fermentation has delivered a textured, creamy mouthfeel. The wine was matured on lees (sur lie) and the inclusion of a reserve wine, aged in oak, contributes to the overall depth and complexity. Leconfield Coonawarra Sparkling Blanc de Blancs exhibits fresh apple, citrus blossom and stone fruits with lemon curd and savoury brioche notes, while a fine bead cleanses and extends the palate. Leconfield Coonawarra Sparkling Blanc de Blanc - [Leconfield Coonawarra 'Old Vines' Riesling](https://richardhamiltonwines.com/product/leconfield-coonawarra-old-vines-riesling-2/) - VINTAGE 2025 Over the years the Leconfield Riesling has taken its place amongst the best examples in Australia. Our 50-year-old Riesling vineyard comprises some of the original planting’s on the estate; mature vines which produce a crop of intensely flavoured fruit with wonderful varietal character every year. Sydney Hamilton planted the 6 acre (2.6 ha) Riesling vineyard in 1974 and we have now completed a restructuring of the vineyard to sustain it over the next 40 or more years. Harvesting took place in the cold early morning and grapes were placed in our air-bag press within minutes of picking. This single batch of free-run juice was cold settled and cool fermented with some light solids using an aromatic yeast to enhance its fragrant fruit aromas. Following fermentation, the wine was allowed to settle on its yeast lees then ultimately received a light fining to aid clarification. - [Lonicera by Leconfield](https://richardhamiltonwines.com/product/lonicera-by-leconfield/) - Lonicera is the genus for the plant species commonly known as the honeysuckle. The name Coonawarra is believed to have come from the Indigenous Australian language for the same, but with reference to a native Banksia. Perhaps a simple connection was observed between the colour of the honeysuckle flower and that of the now famous Terra Rossa soils of the Coonawarra region. A luscious and velvety, medium bodied, dry red wine, exhibiting juicy red fruits of plums and mulberries, combined with li­fted violets. So­ and smooth tannins deliver voluptuous mouthfeel and exceptional length. - [Richard Hamilton 'Hut Block' Cabernet Sauvignon](https://richardhamiltonwines.com/product/richard-hamilton-hut-block-cabernet-sauvignon-2/) - VINTAGE 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon vines at the Richard Hamilton Hut Block vineyard are planted in a small hollow at the base of an old sand dune. Protected from the coastal and gully breezes, this depression traps cold air, delivering cooler-climate attributes in an otherwise warm region. Flavours of cassis, plum, chocolate and mint are exhibited. Full of vibrancy, this wine has round, succulent varietal fruit with long tannins that give persistence and length - [Leconfield 'Uncle Syd' 15 Year Old Tawny](https://richardhamiltonwines.com/product/leconfield-uncle-syd-15-year-old-tawny/) - Sydney Hamilton or ‘Uncle Syd’as he was affectionately known, was a legend of the Australian wine industry, innovating and developing ingenious winemaking techniques which are commonly used in modern winemaking.

Fitting with the nature of a field blend the fruit was co fermented with 14 days on skins.

The 2022 Reserve Cabernets was matured on oak for 27 months - 33% New Taransaud French Hogsheads, 67% 3 year old French Hogsheads.

A legendary wine honouring wine industry legend and Leconfield founder, Sydney Hamilton. This wine pays homage to Sydney’s dream… in 1974, at the age of 76 and a winemaking career spanning nearly 60 years, Sydney still yearned to make a classic Australian Cabernet Sauvignon. Selecting Coonawarra as the region to fulfil his ambitious dream, Sydney began to plant vines in the now famed Coonawarra terra-rossa over limestone soils. A true Reserve Wine with the premium grapes selected from the vineyard at harvest. Fine medium to full bodied palate with silky tannins and great persistence of flavour, this wine has the elegance and structure expected of fine Cabernet Sauvignon. We think that with every release of Leconfield Sydney we realise Sydney’s dream. Hand pruning, crop thinning and shoot positioning of vines achieve ideal sunlight and ventilation, to ensure optimal fruit ripening. Individual bunch selection of only the most consistently ripe grapes from the most outstanding vines, delivers an exceptional final parcel. Fruit is pressed to open top Taransaud French oak vats where the ferment is pumped over daily to achieve optimal colour and flavour extraction. Primary fermentation is completed in new French oak, before the undertaking of several rackings and the transfer to three-year-old French oak hogsheads to complete seven months of maturation. Post bottling the wine receives a further two years bottle maturation before release – reserve wine in its truest form.

Here, he planted vines and founded Leconfield, embarking on a life’s ambition – to grow and produce perhaps the best red wine in Australia based on the Cabernet Sauvignon grape.
