Leeuwin
Leeuwin Estate Sauvignon Blanc ‘Art Series’
A succulent nose that is lively and lifted, grilled lemon, lychee and juicy lime are in abundance. Floral jasmine, nettle and cassia create delicate complexity. Beneath there is subtle wet stone, almost mineral like.
Description
Leeuwin Estate
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.
