VINTAGE 2020
A true Icon, The Centurion takes its name from of one of Australia’s and indeed the World’s oldest surviving vineyards, planted in 1892 by brothers Walter and Clement Philipson. Changing hands to Thomas Wigley in 1893, acquired by Burton Wyndam Hamilton in 1947 and passed to Dr Richard Hamilton.
A classy Shiraz showing aromatics and spicy perfumed lifted enhanced through beautifully integrated French oak which provides a subtle cedar background to the cherry plum fruits. Generous and flavoursome, the palate has silky tannins and lovely persistence. The structure retains the hallmark elegant seamlessness of this pedigree Shiraz. Perfectly balanced. Designed to mature and develop to give many years of drinking pleasure, 10 years at least.

Most people are well and truly retired at 76. Not oenologist Sydney Hamilton, whom after 60 years in winemaking decided to establish Leconfield. Hence the name 76. This is just beautiful. It combines the elegance you get with Coonawarra with the inherent power and structure of Cabernet from this great region. A mix of tobacco leaf and blackcurrant with a little oyster shell minerality. Firm fine chalky tannins contribute to the controlled restraint of the palate which extends effortlessly to a very long finish. Destined for a lengthy stay in the cellar.

2021 was a wonderful vintage for the Coonawarra region and this is an exciting addition to what has been on offer. An inky opaque purple, with a superb ‘Cabernet’ nose. Seamless in structure with a seductive texture and bright acidity, this is fresh, well balanced and offering excellent length. The nose exhibits notes of blackberries, chocolate, cloves, cedar, graphite, tobacco leaves and cocoa powder. Much to like here and this will drink beautifully for the next ten to fifteen years. An excellent example of a Coonawarra Cabernet at the top of its game.
