Leeuwin Art Series Riesling 2025

While tasting at Leeuwin, bedazzled by chardonnay and impressed by cabernet, I was gently reminded that this stalwart from some of the oldest vines on the property is as good as ever. Soft lemons, limes, a little pith and leaf in there with the juice. A fine, talcy breadth across the palate. 93 pts, Nick Ryan, The Australian Weekend Magazine.

The bouquet is exquisitely perfumed, with lifted aromas of citrus blossom entwined with the exotic spice of galangal and the zesty vibrancy of Kaffir lime leaf. A core of pristine primary fruit—lime, lemon pith, and crisp Granny Smith apple—unfolds gracefully, underpinned by subtle flinty nuances and earthy, spice-laden undertones.

On the palate, the wine is delicate yet poised, revealing a finely calibrated structure and tightly wound tension. A vibrant interplay of lemon and lime flavours dominates, supported by an expansive mid-palate that offers both clarity and depth. Seamless natural acidity provides precision and vitality, tapering into a long, mineral-laced finish with a refined chalky texture and exceptional persistence. Winery's notes.
