Leeuwin Estate of Margaret River is synonymous with high quality Chardonnay, with their 'Art Series' widely renowned as Australia's flagship example. Representing their 'first release' Chardonnay, Leeuwin's Prelude Chardonnay is crafted to be approachable, expressive and elegant, while consistently delivering outstanding value-for-money.
The 2025 Leeuwin Prelude Chardonnay again delivers a top-class Margaret River Chardonnay with the purity, finesse and length of flavour we've come to expect from Leeuwin Estate. Opening with lifted, vibrant aromatics, the palate brings its typical impressive concentration with plenty of white nectarine, grapefruit, lemon, underpinned by subtle hazelnuts/ cashew nuttiness, a hint of spice and lively acidity. Another ripping example of Prelude Chardonnay, this continues to deliver high quality drinking at a very reasonable price.
"94 Points. The style of this wine is now firmly established. Brought back from the slightly finer, leaner edginess it had become into a wine of more opulence and palate friendly richness, providing a point of distinction with its famous sibling, the Art Series. Aromas of lemon, cashew, and even sea spray. And then a palate that offers deep, mouth filling flavours, held with control and focus, that drives powerfully to the finish. Nutty light nougat and a trace of lemon contribute to an array of complex flavours. $44."- Ray Jordan, rayjordanwine.com.au
