Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay 2022
Tim@Leeuwin Estate: The palate is detailed and ethereal. Pear greets nectarine, white peach and lemon curd. Woven and harmonious, it unfolds to a graphite and mineral thread, with a touch of sherbet, aniseed and cardamom. Only a few blocks are specifically chosen every year to produce the Art Series Chardonnay.
Tasting Notes
Concentrated and intense, the nose shows a fruit core of nashi pear, finger limes and Lisbon lemon, macadamia and heightened notes of wattle blossom, jasmine and lime flowers. Gentle textures open through the mid-palate with finish featuring characteristic length.
Plaudits
If you were sitting quietly in a corner, contemplating the vicissitudes of life, and a glass of this exceptional chardonnay came your way, well, all would be very well indeed. It’s a wine that tends to be scintillating in youth. It seems powerful and explosive with its acidity, drive and energy yet manages to remain classy and complex. James Halliday 97 Points.
This iconic Australian Chardonnay never allows standards to drop and this is yet another stellar effort from the great Chardonnay production line. nectarines, jasmine and stonefruits. There is juicy acidity here, with a supple texture and a long and lingering finish, along which the intensity is maintained for the full journey. A cracker.”

About Winery
About Winery
Leeuwin Estate is an icon of the Margaret River region. Founder Dennis Horgan is a visionary at heart – and a risk taker. The goal was the best art, wine, food and music all in one venue. It sounds like marketing 101 but in 70’s wine was just beginning to be produced in Margaret River and the town itself was thought of as a kind of country outpost 3 hours south of the most isolated city in the world. The idea that you’d fly an orchestra halfway across the world to perform at a winery in Margaret River (which Dennis did) and that people would rock up to watch them, was insanity.
Over the following years, through skill and perseverance, the vision became a reality. Art from some of Australia’s finest, adjourn the walls below the restaurant, the wine and food is sublime, and the concerts on the sprawling Leeuwin lawn, are never to be forgotten. In my opinion it’s the best venue for a live concert in the world.
Sitting on the veranda at Leeuwin Estate for lunch, the Karri trees swaying, the kookaburras singing, the air crisp and wondrous, is just one of those things you’ve got to experience once in your life.
James Halliday.
This outstanding winery and vineyard is owned by the Horgan family, founded by Denis and Tricia, who continue their involvement, with son Justin Horgan and daughter Simone Furlong joint chief executives. The Art Series Chardonnay is, in my (James') opinion, Australia’s finest example based on the wines of the last 30 vintages.
