Leeuwin Art Series Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting Note
Vibrant citrus & tropical fruit aromas such as lime, grapefruit & guava on the nose. These aromas are backed up on the palate by very moreish tropical & gooseberry fruit with hints of cardamom & coriander seed in the long finish. Sublime!
Producer
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. 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 “Art Series” Chardonnay.
