Leconfield’s Coonawarra Old Vines Riesling 2024 is a stunning expression of both vineyard maturity and regional finesse. Sourced from vines planted in 1974 on the region’s famed terra rossa soils, it captures the purity and precision that define great Australian Riesling. The 2024 vintage brought mild days and cool nights, producing fruit with exceptional balance and aromatic intensity.

Fragrant aromas of lime blossom, honeysuckle and citrus zest unfold alongside hints of green apple and mineral spice. The palate is finely textured and beautifully structured — crisp, layered and long — with lively acidity driving a clean, refreshing finish. It’s delicious now in its youth yet has the depth and acidity to age gracefully for a decade or more.

Awarded 95 points by Winepilot, this release was praised for its “dense, layered and fleshy” style, combining flavour concentration with elegant texture. It stands as a benchmark Coonawarra Riesling — pure, vibrant and impeccably balanced — perfect with fresh seafood, lightly spiced Asian dishes or as a refreshing aperitif.
