A classic Australian Chard. Smoky, ripe mangoes, long exquisite finish

A brilliant $30 Chardonnay- one of the best ever. The younger sibling of the famous Art Series. Stone fruit and grilled nuts. A delicious mouth filling Chardonnay.

Must have been the product of a warm vintage. Luscious ripe fruit with tropical fruit overtones with a hint of pineapple. Ripe stone fruit on palate with oak beautifully balanced. A crowd pleaser and good value.

New release of the Prelude. 2nd wine to the famous Art Series. The 2014 Prelude is in excellent form striking the right balance between lush fruit and struck match leanness. Oak a little prominent at this point. Yet another good vintage in Marg River.

Very good Chardonnay. This is Leeuwins 2nd best after their famous Art Series. Good to see Leeuwin staying with their fruit forward style over the current lean struck match styles in vogue currently in Oz. Give it another 5 years but very good now. 2014 vintage.

Too early yet, but will improve heaps in the next 12 months.

Pretty generous, really good for the money! Oak maybe a bit skitz

This wine is the complimentary creamy taste to our pastas... Yum! Can't get enough of Leeuwin Estate Chardonnay. 2014 vintage a tad fresher and dryer than 2013 ... Still a gem now but will develop with some cellaring. Well balanced oak, lemon, peach and roasted almonds with a slight mineral acidity in the end... And for a rather affordable price!
