Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Delicate and restrained, the nose exhibits nashi pear, cut limes and white peach; interwovenlayers of sesame, pecans, wheat biscuits and nougat, nurtures the primary fruits. Heightenedfloral notes of jasmine and lemon blossom lifts the nose giving fragrance, purity and subtlecomplexity. The palate is directed and focused; symmetry aligns around lemon, grapefruitand pear skin, through creamy oak, blanched almonds and sweet spice, leading to a finishthat is hallmarked by bright natural acidity with incredible length and persistence.

Professional Ratings

90 Wine Spectator
Lovely ripe peach, pink grapefruit and cream notes with touches of flint and ginger open the 2013 Chardonnay Prelude Vineyards. This Chardonnay is medium-bodied and satiny, possessing great intensity with a long, refreshing finish.

Leeuwin Estate, one of the founding wineries of the now famous Margaret River district of Western Australia was established in 1973 with its mission statement to: "Produce wines that rank with the best in the world through the pursuit of excellence".

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.
