The Leeuwin Art Series Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is a striking expression of the Margaret River terroir, offering a wine of exceptional complexity and precision. The 2024 vintage delivers intense aromas of jasmine, kaffir lime, daisy flowers, and fennel, which intertwine with a vibrant fruit spectrum of lemon, lime, black pastille, and guava. Subtle notes of pistachio, blanched almonds, and a hint of cardamom add further intrigue and complexity to the aromatic profile.

On the palate, the wine unfolds with flavours of grapefruit, lemon, native lime, and granita, creating a layered and textured experience. The wine's frame is defined by purity and clarity, with bright acidity providing a lively energy that complements the ocean spray nuance. Savoury layers run parallel to the fruits and acidity, culminating in a long, talc-like finish that lingers beautifully. With a remarkable balance of freshness and depth, this Sauvignon Blanc is a true testament to Leeuwin Estate's commitment to excellence.

The nose is discrete and minerally, with aromas of lemon peel, pink grapefruit and flint. The palate is medium-bodied with focused acidity, a generous mouthfeel and notes of guavas, candied limes and orange blossoms. High tension with underlying power.

Leeuwin Estate stands as one of the premier wineries in Margaret River, Australia, renowned for producing wines that rank alongside the finest in the world. The estate was established in 1973 when Denis and Tricia Horgan, inspired by the mentorship of Napa Valley’s legendary winemaker Robert Mondavi, transformed their cattle farm into a vineyard. The first commercial vintage was released in 1979, and Leeuwin quickly garnered global recognition when its Art Series Chardonnay was highly recommended by Decanter Magazine in 1981.

Today, the estate is still owned and operated by the founding Horgan family, with three generations working alongside a dedicated team of viticulturists and winemakers. The focus remains on crafting site-expressive wines of exceptional quality, with a strong commitment to precision in every aspect of their production process. Leeuwin Estate’s signature Art Series wines—Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon—are regarded as some of Australia’s finest, achieving both critical acclaim and the highest accolades in the wine world.

At Leeuwin Estate, the philosophy is built upon a foundation of dedication, innovation, and a deep respect for the land. The estate's winemaking approach is focused on creating wines that are not only expressive of their terroir but are also crafted with the precision and attention to detail that ensures consistency and excellence in every vintage. With a history rooted in mentorship, experimentation, and meticulous vineyard management, Leeuwin Estate has become a benchmark for estate-based, family-owned wineries in Australia.

The estate is committed to sustainability, from hand-selected vineyard sites to responsible viticulture practices. The winemaking team prioritises producing wines that reflect the unique attributes of the Margaret River region, particularly the balance of climate and soil that creates wines of exceptional character and aging potential. Through their Art Series, Leeuwin Estate celebrates not only fine wine but also contemporary Australian art, adding a layer of cultural richness to every bottle. Their unwavering commitment to quality and their pioneering spirit in wine tourism continue to elevate Leeuwin Estate as a leader in both the Australian and global wine industries.
