2019 Shiraz Art Series

Leeuwin Estate was one of the first Margaret River wineries to put the region on the international wine map thanks to their iconic 1987 Chardonnay Art Series. The winery’s success was a long time coming, the Horgans having bought the property back in 1969. A chance meeting with Robert Mondavi soon after in 1972, convinced the Horgans to plant a vineyard with Mondavi consulting for some years after. The Leeuwin Estate Chardonnay Art Series was for many years Margaret River’s leading Chardonnay and remains a local benchmark, although today it faces much stiffer competition. The real movers at Leeuwin Estate in recent years have been the Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon Art Series which show this winery is no one trick pony.
