Leeuwin Masterclass 2024
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
