Off The Vine - Leasingham Wines (2001)

Leasingham Wines was originally a jam factory, but fortunately after a short period they realized that wine making was a lot more fun. Their first vintage was released in 1895. Kerri Thompson is the Manager and chief winemaker at Leasingham Wines. The Leasingham estate has four vineyards where they grow Riesling, Cabernet and Shiraz. Some of the vines are over forty years old. The soil in the Clare Valley is very similar to the Limestone Coast. The main difference in styles is attributed to the difference in climate and in particular altitude. The higher altitude allows for significant cooling of the grapes at night.
