2022 Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay 750ml

Concentrated and intense, with a core of nashi pear, finger lime, and Lisbon lemon. Complex layers of nougat, brioche, and macadamia, with notes of wattle blossom and jasmine. The palate is detailed and ethereal, with pear, nectarine, and white peach, followed by a mineral thread and a touch of spice. Gentle textures and vibrant acidity lead to a long, elegant finish. Winemaking:Hand-picked and sortedWhole-bunch pressedWild yeast fermentation11 months in French oak barrels100% malolactic fermentationTechnical Details:Varietal: 100% ChardonnayRegion: Margaret River, AustraliaAlcohol: 14.0%pH: 3.11Total acidity: 7.2 g/LResidual sugar: 2.0 g/LOak: 100% new French oakClosure: ScrewcapDrinking window: Now-2030Awards and Reviews:98 points, James Halliday
