Wine 1: Leewin Art Series Riesling
Produced by Leeuwin Estate in Margaret River, Western Australia, this is one of the region’s most celebrated Rieslings. The estate, family-owned since its founding, is renowned for high-quality, internationally ranked wines. The vintage benefited from ideal ripening: a prolonged dry period followed by late winter rains, a healthy spring, and cool, sunny summer days. Harvest began in mid-February over ten cool nights, preserving delicate aromatics and crisp acidity. Citrus blossom, lemon zest, lime leaf, galangal, fennel fronds on the nose. Lime juice, lemon pith, Granny Smith apple with hints of flint and spice on the palate.

Tasting Notes: This wine is clean, fresh, and pure example of the Žilavka grape. Very bright with lots of sunshine, honeydew, stone fruit, salted grapefruit, and balancing acidity with touches of chalky minerality and a subtle bitter almond on the finish.
