97 points, “The Art Series range has a clear family approach to each wine, a focus and sophistication that brings certainty to its long-term maturity.” – James Halliday’s Wine Companion
95 points, “Saturated ruby. Smoke- and spice-accented red and blue fruits, rose pastille, vanilla and cured tobacco on the highly expressive nose. Palate-staining flavours of ripe cherry, black currant and fruitcake are supported and sharpened by an undercurrent of smoky minerality. Puts on weight with air and finishes appealingly sweet and extremely long, displaying resonating cherry and floral notes and supple, slow-building tannins.” – Antonio Galloni’s Vinous
Leeuwin Estate’s most opulent and age-worthy wines can be found in the Art Series. For each new vintage in this highly collectable range, the team at this iconic Margaret River producer commissions a painting by leading contemporary Australian artists. As a result, the labels are as bright and breath taking as the wines themselves. The Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 is another stone-cold classic. Clean, fresh and deeply complex; it’s alive with crème de cassis, blackberry, black cherry, ripe plum, lavender, bay leaf, tarragon, mocha, cedar, cocoa, cinnamon and clove. The artwork was created by Tony Coleing and Chloe Watson and is entitled “Where’s the gift shop?” The answer is, right here!
Leeuwin Estate is one of the founding wineries of the now famous Margaret River district in Western Australia. In 1972, legendary Napa Valley winemaker Robert Mondavi first identified the future site of the Leeuwin vineyard as being ideal for the production of premium wine and provided early mentorship to Denis and Tricia Horgan who founded Leeuwin Estate in 1974. Leeuwin enjoyed its first commercial vintage in 1979 and was thrust into the international spotlight when Decanter Magazine gave its highest recommendation to the 1980 Art Series Chardonnay in an international blind tasting. According to respected critic James Halliday, “Leeuwin Estate is a class act.”
