About this bottle
Leeuwin Estate is a foundational pillar in Margaret River, is celebrated for their world-class wines. Founded by Denis and Tricia Horgan, the estate was guided by Napa Valley's the esteemed Robert Mondavi, who recognised its potential for premium wine production. With his mentorship, the Horgans transformed their humble cattle farm into a renowned vineyard. Planting began in 1974, and by 1979, Leeuwin Estate’s wines gained international acclaim almost immediately.
The 1981 “Art Series” Chardonnay earned high praise from Decanter Magazine, marking Leeuwin Estate’s entry onto the global stage. Today, under the care of three generations of the founding family, the estate continues to produce exceptional, site-expressive wines that are featured in top restaurants and wine merchants across 30 markets.
The bouquet is exquisitely perfumed, with lifted aromas of citrus blossom entwined with the exotic spice of galangal and the zesty vibrancy of Kaffir lime leaf. A core of pristine primary fruit—lime, lemon pith, and crisp Granny Smith apple—unfolds gracefully, underpinned by subtle flinty nuances and earthy, spice-laden undertones.
On the palate, the wine is delicate yet poised, revealing a finely calibrated structure and tightly wound tension. A vibrant interplay of lemon and lime flavours dominates, supported by an expansive mid-palate that offers both clarity and depth. Seamless natural acidity provides precision and vitality, tapering into a long, mineral-laced finish with a refined chalky texture and exceptional persistence.
