Description
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.
Power and presence on the nose, then energy and vitality are the thread.
Lemon curd, fresh nashi pear and lime create the shape and frame aromatically.
Beneath, there are layers of vanilla pod, tea leaf, lemon myrtle and flint nuances.
Heightened fragrance of frangipani and citrus blossom ensue.
Neatly packaged and foiled are notes of patisserie, flint and nougat.
The palate is precise, focussed and fine with delicately woven texture through the mid-palate.
Juicy white peach combines with pear at the core.
Threaded within is harmony, elegance and vibrancy that pulls all elements together in a seamless line.
A saline and mineral finish is the hallmark of this classic 2020 vintage.
This is a peach of a wine.
One sip and wow, you’re into its wonderful world.
It has one foot entirely in the elegant camp, and the other comprehensively in the domain of power.
It’s seamless.
There are peach, cedarwood, white flower, ginger and custard-like characters, along with quartz, though it’s all just rolled and reamed into one.
The length of it; it’s brilliant.
The off-hand confidence.
This is a super release.
