Leeuwin Estate Art Series Margaret River Riesling
Leeuwin acknowledges that Margaret River is not a cool climate, so works hard in the vineyard to maintain a shaded canopy to keep flavours in the lime/lemon spectrum. From the region’s oldest riesling vines, this is an impressive result, with no added acidity. It’s a complete riesling, varietal, zippy and fresh more than a year after vintage, yet with a seamless, textural mouth feel and approachable balance. A wine of well-defined acid focus and intense lemon/lime fruit purity. $18 at Jim’s Cellars.
