Rich soils and cool, moist conditions were perfect foundations for what is today, a premium viticultural district. The Leasingham name is synonymous with premium, award winning wines. Leasingham was awarded the prestigious 1995 Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy for its 1994 Classic Clare Shiraz, the first time a Clare producer has won this accolade.
