2018 Art Series Cabernet Sauvignon, Leeuwin Estate, Margaret River
Leeuwin Estate is one of the founding vineries in Margaret River, recognising before many that the region was well suited to vineyard plantings. In 1972, Legendary Napa Valley winemaker Robert Mondavi identified the Lewin Estate as being 'ideal for the production of premium wine' and provided mentorship to owners Denis and Tricia Horgan as the site was transformed from cattle farm into Leeuwin Estate vineyards. Seven years later, their first commercial vintage was released and quickly gained much international acclaim.
Today the estate releases wines under three main labels: Art Series, Prelude Vineyards and Siblings labels. The "Art Series" that we have in today’s offer represents Leeuwin's most opulent and age-worthy wines, and are identified with paintings commissioned from leading contemporary Australian Artists.
Leeuwin Estate is considered indisputably an Australian icon producer – an accolade fully justified. Experience their 2018 Art Series Cabernet Sauvignon and you’ll see why.
