…Nougat, chestnut and fine cedar mark a savoury beginning before an unfurling of white grapefruit, peach skin and dehydrated lime. Allusions of flint. It’s immediate and open, though with definition and detail. Notes of brown spice and salted lemon emerge with air. It all clicks nicely into place, making for a really striking perfume. The palate is textural and full, with the nutty savouriness and fine cedar notes sitting forward before a cut of pithy white grapefruit and tangy lemon hold sway and pull it linear. Classic Gin Gin clone acidity and phenolic grip put up a lovely long frame around the finish, which is drawn to good length. This is very good, and at its price point it can boast complexity, structure, power and detail. TOM KLINE, winepilot.com
This is as good as you'd hope and better than you'd expect. It's a very good wine. It has good fruit intensity, a rub of texture, sound-smoky length and strong all-around appeal. It tastes of grapefruit, lemongrass, peach and pear, with cedar and smoke as attractive whispers. All the way along the line, I like what I taste here. CAMPBELL MATTINSON, The Wine Front
One of Margaret River’s best, Leeuwin Estate helped put the region on the world stage, particularly through its iconic Art Series Chardonnay. Family owned and operated, it combines fine wine, art and music into a globally recognised brand. The wines consistently show finesse and power, cementing Leeuwin as one of Australia’s benchmark producers.
