The Brokenback Vineyard, Pokolbin, was planted in the 1970's by a visionary group led by the late, legendary, Len Evans, AO, OBE. Over the ensuing years the vines have produced premium wines under a variety of labels. In 2008 the vineyard then in two parts, was purchased privately and amalgamated.

Our Brokenback Verdelho displays lifted tropical fruit aromas and flavours balanced by refreshing citrus acidity. This generous wine is full flavoured with a touch of spice creating a long and complex palate.

Enjoy this early drinking style.

Cellaring:  1 - 3 years

The Leogate estate tradition of bringing grapes into the winery from districts external to the Hunter Valley has continued in 2018 for the winemaking of "The Gatecrasher" series. This wine is made from grapes grown on our own Certified Organic Vineyard located int he Central Ranges of New South Wales.

Appearance: Deep red in colour with a bright red hue.

Bouquet: A fragrant bouquet of black and red currants with spice and cedary notes.

Palate: The La Perouse is a French style red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon approx. 60% and Merlot approx. 40%. These two grape varieties are grown on our own Certified Organic Vineyard located in the Central Ranges of NSW.

The wine displays a delightfully rounded palate offering a generous mix of red and blue fruits balanced by fine, silky tannins. With 12 months of gentle French oak maturation the palate is well structure, complexity and long.
