Leeuwin Estate 2017 Riesling 'Art Series'
“Leeuwin Estate is one of the benchmarks, if not the reference point winery in Margaret River.”
After an extensive search in 1972 to identify the most suitable Australian area for the production of premium varietal wines, Robert Mondavi singled out a small plot of land in the Margaret River region. At the time a cattle farm, Leeuwin Estate evolved under the direction of owners Denis and Tricia Horgan, with Mondavi acting as consultant and mentor.
Today, the Estate is recognized as one of Australia’s leading wine producers and wine tourism destination.
Featured three times as “International Winery of the Year” by U.S. Wine & Spirits Magazine, the wines of Leeuwin Estate consistently rank alongside the world’s finest.
The "Art Series" represents Leeuwin's most opulent and age-worthy wines from each vintage. They are identified with paintings commissioned from leading contemporary Australian artists.
“91 points - Lifted and bright with great clarity, the nose expresses cut limes and lemons. Subtle notes of kaffir, lemongrass, jasmine and fresh sesame seed lie in the background. Defined by a finely structured palate with delicate texture and sherbet-like acidity, the palate shows lemon pith, lime and cardamom pod.. This has attractive appeal. Drink Now.”
