Leeuwin Estate Art Series Riesling 2023 750ml

The 2023 Art Series Riesling marks another lovely release of this wine. The 2023 season in Margaret River was even and mild—superb, in short—and the whites that I have seen released so far express the conditions so eloquently. Here, the wine is aromatically laden with sea salt, chalk, brine, soft leafy herbs, scratched lime, green apple and jasmine flowers. It is plump without being pudgy, soft while retaining form and line, and perhaps most importantly, it is delicious. A lovely wine. 12% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

An energetic and vibrant nose, nestled within a fruit spectrum bursting with Tahitian lime, Lisbon lemon and a hint of green apple. The aromatics of fennel seed, Thai basil, and lime leaf add an extra and intriguing layer of complexity.
Delicately textured, yet equally exuberant, limes and zesty lemons feature at the forefront of the palate. There is minerality and brine-like structure providing elegance and finesse, leading to a finely boned acid frame with a talc like finish.
