2024 Leeuwin Estate Art Series Riesling

The Wine Front

In stock

A light-bodied and delicately dry Riesling from the cooler climate of Margaret River. Lime and slightly spicey florals are a leap from the more austere South Australians. It's a little more Kiwi in that way, though with something different from the Western Australian soils and conditions. Deceptively layered, this is a serious white for aperitif or lighter fish dishes.

$30.99 in mixed 6+ or $34.99 per bottle

Its Origins

Leeuwin Estate is one of the founding wineries of the now famous Margaret River district.In 1972, legendary Napa Valley winemaker, Robert Mondavi, first 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 who founded Leeuwin Estate in 1974. The initial vineyards were planted by hand over a five year period from 1975. Featuring state-of-the art facilities, the winery building was opened in 1978, celebrating with a trial vintage. Leeuwin enjoyed its first commercial vintage in 1979, and was thrust into the international spotlight when Decanter Magazine gave its highest recommendation to the 1980 "Art Series" Chardonnay in an international blind tasting.

What The Critics Say

92/100 The Wine Front, Gary Walsh

"This has perfume lime and lemon, lemongrass, mint and a little spice. It’s juicy and bright, all citrus and green apple, and the texture is gently chalky, offering a finish of excellent length with a lime and tonic aftertaste. Lots of crunch and interest. It’s very good." Drink 2024 - 2030

92/100 James Suckling

"The nose is lifted, with aromas of lemon sherbet, candied lime zest and chalk. The palate is light-bodied with focused acidity, giving notes of pink grapefruit, gun smoke and sea spray. Very focused, fresh and generous. Made from vines planted around 1976."
