It is still the Sauternes of the vintage

The dry and warm conditions towards the end of the season allowed them the luxury of choosing when to harvest

touches of curry leaf and cracked black pepper

2019 Leeuwin Estate, Art Series Chardonnay, Margaret River, Australia spirit It is still the SauternesThis delicious Chardonnay from Leeuwins coveted Art Series has an eminently expressive nose. Rich notes of toasted almond and juicy mango jostle for pole position. Initially, the palate offers flavours of zingy lemon pith and green apple. These quickly evolve into peach and guava with a refreshing saline edge. Its delightfully oily texture makes it a superb food wine, particularly with Asian tuna or salmon en croute.
