Leeuwin Art Series Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Leeuwin Art Series Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Tim@Leeuwin Estate: Intense aromas of jasmine, kaffir, daisy flowers and fennel greet the nose, alongside a tapestry of lemon, lime, black pastille and guava across the fruit spectrum. Elements of pistachio, blanched almonds and just a touch of cardamom provide added complexity.
Tasting Notes
Grapefruit, lemon, native lime and granita feature among a myriad of flavours and textures on the palate. The shape and frame is precise, with purity and clarity throughout. The acidity creates lively energy, then combines with an ocean spray nuance.
Plaudits
2023 Review: The slip of texture, creaminess and nuttiness comes from its four months in used French oak barriques plus regular lees stirring. Add to that grapefruit/lemon/lime juice, fresh herbs and passionfruit too … well, it amounts to a lovely drink. 93 Points. James Halliday.
2023 Review: I have to say I think this is the best Art Series savvy yet released. It combines the beautiful aromatic nances evident immediately with a beautifully crafted textural palate. The palate is sublime with its rich intensity and centration of fruit lifted and revealed with a minerally acidity. The blend of these with some tank fermented components has created an ideal expression of this variety. 95 Points. Ray Jordan.

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.
