Multi Trophys Winner - A generously flavoured vintage from the renowned low yielding dry land Schobers vineyard and Provis vineyards in South Australia's Clare Valley. Leasingham's winemaker Kerri Thompson has crafted the most parched and austere fruit from the old and low yielding vines into an outstanding, award winning wine. A long dry ripening season led to a low yield vintage of intense berry flavours, long structure, mesmerising depth of flavour and soft generous tannins. A complex and concentrated classic Shiraz to be celebrated with slowly cooked beef and bay leaf casseroles, pot roasts and matured cheeses.
The renowned dryland Schobers vineyard in South Australia's Clare Valley produced the Jimmy Watson Trophy winning 94 Classic Clare Shiraz.

Following fermentation in new American oak, this wine was matured for 18 months prior to release. Alcohol 14.0% T/Acidity 6.7 g/L pH 3.32.

More About Leasingham Winery
The Clare Valley, set in the folds of the Mount Lofty Ranges 140 kilometres north of Adelaide is proud of it's long history of outstanding winemaking
At around 400 metres elevation the Clare Valley is characterised by cool night time temperatures and warm days. In 1893 a group of South Australian entrepreneurs founded The Stanley Wine Company to produce high quality Clare Valley red and white wines. Subsequent generations of wine drinkers and wine judges have applauded their decision and confirmed their hopes. Leasingham»
