Leeuwin Estate Art Series Shiraz 2020
Margaret River

Shiraz doesn't often feature in cool Margaret River. Here the leading Leeuwin Estate shows how good this grape can be in their Art Series range. The 2020 is still tightly furled, but should develop magnificently over the next few years. Open early.
