Wine Region: Australia

Grape: Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting Notes

Offering an abundance of limes, lemons and gooseberries on the nose. Finely tuned, textured and layered, the palate has a bright fruit spectrum centred on quince, lemon and lime. There is gentle weight through the mid-palate, creating dimension with a structural yet seamless acid spine. A top class white wine that is ideal complement to white meat and seafood dishes.

About the Winery

Family owned, Leeuwin Estate, one of the five founding wineries of the now famous Margaret River district of Western Australia, is under the direction of two generations who work with a team of highly skilled winemakers to consistently produce wines ranking alongside the world's finest. In 1972, legendary Napa Valley winemaker, Robert Mondavi, identified the future site of the Leeuwin vineyard as being ideal for the production of premium wine and provided early mentorship to Denis and Tricia Horgan in the transformation of their cattle farm into Leeuwin Estate.
