Tasting Notes
What is there to say about this wine? Every year it sets a benchmark for Margaret River Chardonnay. Immaculate, powerful, intense, with purity of fruit, drive and clarity. The symmetry of layers, contours and overall balance is precise, finishing with an effortless length. Ray Jordan has given this wine 99+ points - the closest he's ever come to awarding 100. Enough said. - Chris L
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.
Maintaining a team of highly skilled and dedicated winemakers, Leeuwin Estate is now under the direction of two generations of the founding family.
