Description
The “Art Series” represents Leeuwin’s most opulent & ageworthy wines from each vintage.
They are identified with paintings commissioned from leading contemporary Australian artists.
The nose on the Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay 2016 is energetic, precise and finite with remarkable clarity and purity.
Lime, lemon pith, grapefruit and Nashi pear are the hallmark fruits present.
Delicate notes of jasmine, cardamom pod, flint, wet stone, blanched almonds and rice wafer give subtle complexity in the background.
The shape and frame of the palate is the highlight; volume, combined with length and a mineral acid line threaded in between.
Grapefruit, pear and lemon are set in the foreground amongst nougat, brioche, cinnamon and graphite.
Wine with incredible poise and presence, with a long life ahead.
