2008 Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay

Brilliant pale straw colour with greenish tinge around the edges and watery hue. The nose displays excellent intensity and varietal character with lifted top notes of white peach, cashew and nougat followed by some light toast and spice notes. Concentrated and mouthfilling the palate displays flavours of spicy cashew, white peach, light toast and a touch of hazelnut on the back palate. Dry finish with creamy like texture and long aftertaste of white peach, spicy cashew, light toast and hazelnut. An impressive wine, however, it doesn’t quite reach the dizzy heights of the previous 2 vintages.
Cellar 5-6 years (2016-2017).
Alc 13.5%
