About this product
Limited availabilityMargaret River, AustraliaA very dry year with warm days and cool nights suggesting a late vintage. Just prior to vintage a few warm days hastened the ripening of the early varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay so that these were picked about normal time. The Chardonnay was higher in yield than average but also high in quality.

Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

When I first tasted this wine, I lost no time in buying some. Brilliant pale straw-green, the restrained barrel ferment and delicate fruit of the bouquet gives no hint of the 14.5 degrees alcohol, nor does the youthful, vibrant grapefruit, nectarine and melon fruit of the palate. Destined to be one of the greatest Leeuwins.
