94 POINT RATED ERIN LARKIN JAMES HALLIDAY'S WINE COMPANION LEEUWIN ESTATE ART SERIES SAV BLANC
Grapefruit, burnt lime and lemon sherbet greet the palate. Diligent textures and coriander seed note surround the mid palate with a mineral thread. Very energetic, with woven acid and a talc, chalk-like finish.
94 Point Rated - Erin Larkin Halliday Wine Companion
"The Art Series range spans 5 varieties – riesling, sauvignon blanc, shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay – with the first 3 being far cheaper than the others. The lower pricing does not (and I repeat, does NOT) denigrate the quality of these wines. This is extraordinarily elegant, layered with lychee, coriander, passionfruit, hints of jalapeño and shaped by fine chalky phenolics. Saline acidity threads it all together. Plum Margaret River sauvignon blanc on a good day."
Family owned, Leeuwin Estate, one of the five founding wineries of the now famous Margaret River district of Western Australia, is under the direction of two generations who work with a team of highly skilled winemakers to consistently produce wines ranking alongside the world’s finest. In 1972, legendary Napa Valley winemaker, Robert Mondavi, identified the future site of the Leeuwin vineyard as being ideal for the production of premium wine and provided early mentorship to Denis and Tricia Horgan in the transformation of their cattle farm into Leeuwin Estate. Enjoying its first commercial vintage in 1979, Leeuwin was thrust into the international spotlight when Decanter Magazine gave its highest recommendation to the 1981 “Art Series” Chardonnay.
