Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay
Leeuwin Estate's Art Series Chardonnay embodies timeless Margaret River excellence. Tricia and Denis Horgan transformed a cattle farm in 1969 into Leeuwin Estate under Robert Mondavi's guidance. The unirrigated Block 20 Vineyard, over 40 years old, boasts the iconic Gin Gin clone, nurturing Margaret River's chardonnay lineage. Leeuwin's pristine fruit and winemaking inspire regional excellence, influencing other producers. Their Art Series, accompanied by commissioned artworks, epitomises opulence and ageability. In moderate Mediterranean conditions atop gravelly soils, handpicked fruit ferments in new French oak, maturing for 11 months, enhanced by bâttonage for texture and complexity. Leeuwin's wines stand as Margaret River's paragon of quality.
