Leeuwin Estate Art S

Chardonnay 2021

Experience the pinnacle of Australian Chardonnay with Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay 2021, a 750ml icon from Margaret River. Sourced from Blocks 20 and 22 (planted 1976-1978), this wine reflects a compact, warm 2021 vintage, hand-picked and vinified in 100% new French oak (Burgundian and Bordelais) for 11 months, with 30% whole-bunch pressing. The result is a tight, green-tinged pale yellow wine with a powerful nose of lemon curd, nashi pear, lime, and flint, layered with vanilla pod and tea leaf. The palate is precise and focused, weaving juicy white peach and pear with saline minerality, almond meal, and a chalky limestone finish, delivering staggering length. Rated 99 points by Ray Jordan (White Wine of the Year 2024) and 97 points by James Suckling (Top 100 Wines of Australia 2023), this Chardonnay is a collector’s treasure, perfect for pairing with creamy seafood dishes like grilled lobster.
