World class Margaret River Chardonnay from one of the region's founding wineries. Leeuwin Art Series always features in any conversation of Australia's finest white wines and the 2021 is another stunning release. A wine with a long life ahead, and three 98pt reviews is no mean feat. Artwork for this vintage is by Jo Davenport, entitled "When Skies Are Blue".

Huon Hooke writes "Light straw colour with a reserved lemon/grapefruit aroma, fresh and penetrating, the palate brisk and bright with vibrant acidity and intense grapefruit/lemon flavours that persist the full length of the very long palate. Superb vitality and balance. Tremendously concentrated and compact, with extreme drive and massive persistence, it positively vibrates with energy. Very ageworthy: it promises to reward many years of cellaring."
Ray Jordan writes "Remarkably complex aromas of dominant stone fruit like nectarine with less of the pear and cut lime character you expect. An intense and powerful wine with a distinctive chalky limestone influence on the palate. The minerally cracked seashell character is clearly evident here. It is pure with an almost shimmering acidity and precision through to the long finish. One of the more individual of the Leeuwin chardonnays to date."
