James Suckling
A lovely rounded nose of beeswax, yellow grapefruit and wet stone. Medium-bodied with bright acidity that lifts up the slightly savory, warm citrus and stone fruit palate. Focused with a pleasantly refreshing finish. Subtle tannins peeking out.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2014 Riesling Art Series opens with key lime pie and jasmine aromas, fanning out to lanolin, allspice and beeswax. This wine is dry, very fresh and pure, with a long, steely finish. Rating: 90+ Points.

In 1972, legendary Napa Valley winemaker, Robert Mondavi, first identified the future site of the Leeuwin vineyard as being ideal for the production of premium wine and provided early mentorship to owners, Denis and Tricia Horgan in the establishment of Leeuwin Estate. The first vines were planted by hand over a five year period from 1973.
Featuring state-of-the art facilities, the winery building was opened in 1978, celebrating with a trial vintage. Leeuwin enjoyed its first commercial vintage in 1979, and was thrust into the international spotlight when Decanter Magazine gave its highest recommendation to the 1980 "Art Series" Chardonnay in an international blind tasting.
Maintaining a team of highly skilled and dedicated winemakers, Leeuwin Estate is now under the direction of two generations of the founding family.
