Our Notes
Plenty of red fruit and pepper in this Aussie Shiraz, in the subtler softer New South Welsh style.

From the Winemaker A Lion's family is referred to technically as his "Pride", and generally comprises several females, numerous cubs, and sometimes other males. The Leogate Estate Lion, being the ancient symbol of the Lion Rampant, has an extensive pride, symbolically represented by its three vineyards and a wide array of wine grape varietals as well as blends.

This Leogate Estate Central Ranges Shiraz displays layers of ripe raspberry red fruit flavours with a touch of peppery spice on a well-balanced fruit driven palate. With a refined tannin structure and soft, subtle, French oak characters, the seamless palate is complex and persistent.

About the Winemaker Fairly new to the Hunter Valley scene, the Leogate operation began in 2009 and has been a critical and commercial success from the start. Production focuses on careful traditional approaches and on favourite Hunter varietals including Semillon and Shiraz over several vineyards, with some plantings of such underrated grapes as Gerwurztraminer and Tempranillo.

Recently, an organic vineyard in Mudgee was established, and Leogate have secured a contract to supply wines for Qantas first class and business class passengers.
