The 2020 vintage in Margaret River was moderate to warm and will be forever remembered for the incredibly compacted harvest period, which started two weeks earlier than the 2019 harvest before it and was all wrapped up by Easter—that's largely unheard of. The 2020 Art Series Chardonnay leads with power and density, not unlike the 2018 before it. Tight and green in the glass, you get salted pear, white peach, nectarine, red apple skins, preserved citrus and crushed shell. The wine has minerality and tension within the confines of the opulent fruit. Staggering length, as usual. The winemaking remains relatively consistent across the years: hand-picked fruit from Block 20 and 22 (planted in 1976 and 1978, respectively). Thirty percent of the cuvée was whole bunch pressed to 100% new Burgundian oak, while the balance was destemmed, crushed and pressed to 100% new Bordelais oak. Sulfured post-ferment in order to discourage malolactic fermentation, both components remain in barrel for 11 months. Super wine.
The 2019 Art Series Chardonnay is rich and savory but pure and saline too. There is white peach, red apples, curry leaf and brine. The way the flavor moves across the palate is testament to the phenolics that course through the wine; it’s all at a perfect intersect of fruit power, tannin and perfectly judged acidity. The flavor stains the palate and lingers in an unravelling spool of thread in the mouth long after the wine has gone. A stupendously good wine.

Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay is a premium Australian wine known for its elegant taste profile. This Chardonnay offers a rich and creamy texture with notes of ripe stone fruits, citrus, and subtle oak undertones. The aroma is inviting, with hints of tropical fruits and a touch of vanilla. What sets this wine apart is its perfect balance of acidity and minerality, resulting in a smooth and lingering finish.

Perfect for special occasions and celebrations, Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay pairs beautifully with seafood dishes like grilled prawns, lobster, or creamy pasta with scallops. It also complements poultry dishes such as roasted chicken or turkey. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or simply unwinding after a long day, this Chardonnay is sure to elevate your experience with its exceptional quality and taste.
