Leeuwin Estate Masterclass wtih Phil Hutchison

Top 100 Australian Wineries, JAMES HALLIDAY

“For long regarded as one of the very greatest producers of chardonnay in the Margaret River, and indeed the whole of Australia: this is one of the proudest family-owned estates in the country….Leeuwin Estate is not just a chardonnay producer. Its cabernet sauvignon is of very high quality, its shiraz likewise. The second label Prelude Chardonnay is better than many higher-priced wines from other producers, and the Riesling sells out every year… JAMES HALLIDAY

Leeuwin Estate was founded in 1974 by Denis and Tricia Horgan, with the goal of crafting wines that could rival the best in the world. In the time since they have become synonymous with quality, elegance, and innovation in Australian winemaking and have been instrumental in taking the wines of Australia to the world stage.

One of the hallmarks of Leeuwin Estate is its Art Series range, which showcases the estate's commitment to excellence and creativity. This is the pinnacle of the estate production showcasing the central winemaking philosophy of meticulous vineyard management, sustainable practices, and minimal intervention in the cellar to allow the fruit to express its full potential.

With a combination of traditional and modern techniques, they craft wines of balance, complexity, and finesse that garner critical acclaim and accolades from wine enthusiasts around the world. Whether it's the vibrant fruit and creamy texture of the Chardonnays or the structured elegance of the Cabernet Sauvignons, Leeuwin Estate wines exemplify the best of Margaret River and Australian winemaking.

We are excited to have winemaker Phil Hutchison in the store to take us through these wonderful wines and will include some back vintage Arts Series straight out of the cellar along with the current releases. In addition, we will be looking at these alongside the incredible value and quality Prelude range.
