Leeuwin Estate Art Series Shiraz
Delicate, woven, and layered, there are blackberries, black pastille and blueberries surrounding the palate. A fine graphite line through the mid-palate aligns with bright acidity and elegant tannin.
“This just might be the value buy from the Art Series range – actually, from recent releases, it surely is. From a stellar vintage, the fruit was individually berry sorted with 20% whole bunches added to the ferment. Total maturation was for a year and a half in a mix of new and slightly older barriques and larger format French oak. A dark mauve/maroon colour here, this is beautifully structured. The aromas weave through blackfruits, plums, graphite, chocolate, aniseed, smoked meats and bay leaves. The oak has been superbly handled. This is an exquisite example of Margaret River Shiraz, one of the absolute elite. It is finely balanced with an attractively supple texture, laser-like focus and impressive length. A refined style, with melting tannins, which will continue to provide enormous pleasure over the next decade. One of their very best.” – 96 points, Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot, June 2025
