Leeuwin Estate: “One of Australia’s superstars”
Leeuwin Estate has a well-deserved reputation for producing some of Australia’s very best Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon – in a restrained style. The estate is situated in Western Australia’s Margaret River, a region surrounded on three sides by the Indian Ocean, and the maritime influence here makes for a distinctive elegance of fruit.
Leeuwin Estate’s first commercial vintage was in 1979, and the high quality of the wines immediately came to the attention of international wine judges. The Art Series, Leeuwin’s Mouton Rothschild inspired label for its very best wines, has been instrumental in establishing Margaret River as a top-notch source of Chardonnay, alongside Cabernet Sauvignon, the variety historically grown here. Leeuwin Estate pioneered the use of a particular Chardonnay clone, known as ‘gin gin’, which thanks to its moderate fruit set gives low yields and high concentration, and has since been adopted by the majority of growers in the region.
