Leeuwin Estate Prelude Chardonnay 2024

"Most chardonnay vignerons would give their eye teeth to have a wine as good as this as their entry point." James Halliday

“Prelude Chardonnay can never again be referred to as the second wine from Leeuwin because it is, in its own right, a remarkable wine.” Matthew Jukes

A remarkable entry to the Art Series, the Prelude Chardonnay displays all the generosity and concentrated fruit known from this famed Chardonnay estate.

Tasting Notes

"I appreciate the talk around the 2024 Margaret River vintage but I’m still seeing lots of good wines produced.
This is as good as you’d hope and better than you’d expect. It’s a very good wine. It has good fruit intensity, a rub of texture, sound-smoky length and strong all-around appeal. It tastes of grapefruit, lemongrass, peach and pear, with cedar and smoke as attractive whispers. All the way along the line, I like what I taste here." 93 Points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front

Few stories can be told about modern Australian wine without mentioning the amazing rise of Margaret River, and Leeuwin Estate as a pioneer. Founded by Tricia and Denis Horgan in 1979, it is the star estate of Margaret River’s southern area; 
with a particular pedigree in its famed Chardonnay, but also relatively recent acclaim for Cabernet and Shiraz.
