Leeuwin Estate Art Series Riesling 2024
Tim@Leeuwin Estate: Delicate and elegant wine, with a finely tuned and tightly coiled palate featuring lemons and limes in abundance. An open mid-palate is balance with laced natural acidity, leading to a mineral chalk finish with impressive length.
Tasting Notes
The nose is perfumed and heightened with citrus blossom meeting galangal and Kaffir lime leaf. Primary fruit of lime, lemon pith and Granny Smith apple lead to subtle flinty notes combing with earth driven spices.
Plaudits
I feel, is much improved of the past few years, and the wines are brighter with notably better texture. This has perfume lime and lemon, lemongrass, mint and a little spice. It’s juicy and bright, all citrus and green apple, and the texture is gently chalky, offering a finish of excellent length with a lime and tonic aftertaste. Lots of crunch and interest. It’s very good. Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, 92 Points.
The nose is lifted, with aromas of lemon sherbet, candied lime zest and chalk. The palate is light-bodied with focused acidity, giving notes of pink grapefruit, gun smoke and sea spray. Very focused, fresh and generous. Made from vines planted around 1976. James Suckling.com 92 points.

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.
