Leeuwin Estate Art Series Shiraz 2020
Margaret River
Loading...
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.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
The Story Behind the Bottle
Halliday's Wine Companion proclaimed that, "Leeuwin Estate is a class act, every facet of its business working with the precision of a Swiss watch. It stands at the very forefront of estate-based, family owned wineries." Founded by Denis and Tricia Horgan in 1972, after the famous Napa producer Robert Mondavi commended the land for wine, they were one of five founding families of Margaret River. Mondavi provided mentorship early on as they converted from cattle farming to vineyards. Their first vintage was 1979 and two years later, their Art Series was recognised as 'Outstanding'. This fine red was made with 20% whole bunches for vibrancy, the rest vinified more traditionally, with 18 months in part new oak barrels. Will reward patience.
