Leeuwin Estate Art Series Shiraz 2023
Shiraz in Margaret River can be overshadowed by the greatness of the chardonnay and cabernet, but this wine will go a long way towards changing that. Gorgeously fragrant, an energetic nose packed with dark berries and exotic spice. Supple and sinewy, with dark cherries, chocolate and dustings of white pepper and mace.
96 pts, Nick Ryan, The Wine Advocate
This wine showed superbly at our recent Leeuwin Dinner. Possibly their best Shiraz ever and highly recommended. Ian Cook October 2025
There’s usually a few bits and bobs of other grape varieties in the mix with LEAS Shiraz, though I’ve no information to hand for 2023. Not that it matters really. 20% whole bunch anyway.
Blueberry, blackberry, floral perfume, five spice, a nutty salumi sort of thing too. It’s medium-bodied, fresh acidity, fine grainy tannin grip, something of a raspberry pip bite in with some orange peel, blue and red fruits, with a dry spicy and slightly stalky finish of good length. Nice wine. 93 points, drink 2026-2033+, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.
