Mattinson review of Leconfield DGR Cabernet Shiraz 2022.

Leconfield DGR Cabernet Shiraz 2022
$70, 14.5% alcohol, screwcap, Coonawarra.

DGR stands for ‘Damn Good Red’, the red here alluding to both the wine itself but also to the famous red-orange hue of the best Coonawarra soils, from which this wine was grown. We’re looking at a concentrated, plush, luxurious wine here, creamy-soft to the touch and awash with plum, mint, toast, blackurrant and vanilla flavours. The tannin here too feels robust, which is in keeping with the wine as a whole. This wine delivers mouthfilling flavours in soft, smooth, structured style. It will provide great pleasure to a lot of people. 93/100.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
