Winemaker of the Year |Tim Lovett | 2019 West Australian Wine Guide by Ray Jordan

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 Denis and Tricia 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.

Leeuwin Estate Art Series Shiraz 2021
There’s a fair whack of new oak to the fore, both on the nose and palate, although that should settle in time as there’s rich, ripe fruit within. Savoury and spicy with bitter chocolate and dried herbs. Sweet cedary oak leads on the full-bodied palate, then the pomace-like tannins kick in, drying the finish as a result.
