Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay 2018

Lauded by many as one of Australia's most exception Chardonnays, is the Leeuwin Estate Art Series. Its pedigree is exceptional, with some holding it in as high esteem as any grand cru Burgundy. Aged in 100% new French Oak, matched by the power and intensity of the fruit, it evokes meyer lemons, chamomile flowers and buttery shortbread. While its drinking resplendently now, it will only improve with time in cellar.

"The first thing I noticed here was the intensity. The fruit intensity. It's a striking wine, explosive in a refined way, elegant and textural at once, persistent. Its presence and power can be admired and enjoyed now but wow does this have a future, and a long one. White peach, citrus, pear, sweet cedar and almonds. The whole is more than its parts. It's beautiful, pure, exemplary." - Campbell Mattinson, The WIne Front
