| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nThe 2019 Art Series Chardonnay is rich and savory but pure and saline too. There is white peach, red apples, curry leaf and brine. The way the flavor moves across the palate is testament to the phenolics that course through the wine; it\u2019s all at a perfect intersect of fruit power, tannin and perfectly judged acidity. The palate is bright and energetic, with laced mineral acidity. Bursting lemon, lime and pear skin meet oyster shell and saline notes, providing a precise corridor and direction. Gently coiled textures give lateral capacity and dimension. The flavor stains the palate and lingers in an unravelling spool of thread in the mouth long after the wine has gone. A stupendously good wine.\r\nRobert Parker 98 Points\u00a0\r\n\r\n\r\nAbout Leeuwin Estate Winery\r\nFamily 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\u2019s 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 \u201cArt Series\u201d Chardonnay.\r\nThe international accolades have continued and Leeuwin now exports to 30 markets. The prestigious Langton\u2019s Classification of Australian wine includes Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay in the top \u201cExceptional\u201d category and amongst the iconic \u201cHeritage five\u201d celebrating Australia\u2019s most exceptional, ground-breaking wines, whilst Art Series Cabernet Sauvignon is classified as \u201cOutstanding\u201d.
