The Leconfield Coonawarra estate was established in 1974 by one of Australia’s most talented winemakers, Sydney Hamilton. During the four decades to follow, the vineyard has become famous for the distinctive wines it produces. Our Rosé is a recent inclusion to our range. We have named the wine La Sevillana after the roses which feature extensively in our vineyards. Noted for its elegant fragrance, and suitability as a hedge, this floribunda rose provides orange-red flowers for an extensive period of the year.

This is a dry style of rosé that has been crafted to have great flavour and persistence. It finishes clean, fine and crisp
WINE MAKING
Merlot was harvested at night to take advantage of cool temperatures. Free run juice with minimal skin contact produced the blush pink colour. The juice was lightly fined, settled and then fermented cool with an aromatic yeast to enhance the aroma. The wine was allowed to commence malo-lactic fermentation to enhance mouthfeel and fermented to dryness. Extended time on lees provided length on the palate before the wine was prepared for bottling in July.
