Margaret River

www.leeuwinestate.com.au

One of the great estates of Margaret River with an international reputation for producing outstanding wines, particularly its fabulous Art Series chardonnay, a wine which focused international attention of the region. More recently the reds have been outstanding with excellent shiraz and cabernet the result of significant attention on viticulture. Now under the direction of two generations of the founding family. This is a winery that could easily rest on its laurels but that is not what Leeuwin is about and the continuing evolution of styles, even with the benchmark chardonnay, is impressive.
