Art Series 2023
Savory and aromatic, with a light alcohol content. The characteristics of the grape are well defined, ideal for those who want to know what it means to drink a riesling and smell the characteristic "hydrocarbon" aroma that has made this vine so famous.
Prelude 2022
The Margaret River area is famous throughout the world for its perfect terroir for the cultivation of Chardonnay, in this version both the characteristics of elegance and power of the vine are harmoniously combined together. With oenological mastery, wood is used which is excellently integrated into the structure of the wine. It is considered one of the best expressions of the Chardonnay grape in the world.
Sauvignon 2015
The uniqueness of the Margaret River area is probably contained in this wine. This Sauvignon, 2015 vintage, is surprisingly fresh and young, a child, despite its refinement. Fruity, pleasantly aromatic and so different from the European versions. The note of green pepper and the classic "cat's pee" gives way to ripe yellow fruit. A surprising wine, also in terms of quality/price ratio!
Art Series 2020
This extraordinary variety of Chardonnay is probably the finest white wine currently produced in Australia. Coming from the renowned Leeuwin Estate in Margaret River, a pioneer of the region, this wine represents the flagship of the winery. Purchased in 1969 by Perth businessman Denis Horgan, the estate revealed its potential only three years later, thanks to a visit from renowned winemaker Robert Mondavi. Thanks to an exceptional microclimate and low yields, Leeuwin has become one of Australia's best wineries. The grapes for this wine come from the Block 20 vineyard, planted for over 40 years and grown sustainably. After the harvest, the grapes are vinified in French oak barrels with regular batonnage to give structure, creaminess and complexity to the wine. After 11 months of aging in barrels, the different batches are assembled, refined and bottled. The result is an incredibly pure and concentrated wine, with aromas of lemon, pear and lime followed by notes of cardamom, chamomile and cinnamon. In the mouth, you can appreciate a full body, a rounded structure and a long finish with hints of toasted hazelnuts and oyster shell. Its strong character makes it perfect to pair with creamy fish, chicken or pasta dishes, as well as a selection of cheeses.
