2023 Leeuwin Estate Art Series Sauvignon Blanc, Margaret River

Woven layers of cut lime, lemon skin, black pastille and gooseberry. There is balance and complexity in the form of cardamom, coriander seed and fennel bulb. Energy and vitality are also evident with heightened lime blossom and salt bush.

The palate is punchy with tension. Direction is driven through a fine, mineral and laced acid structure. The primary fruits correlate from the nose with volumes of citrus and cape gooseberry. Texture is diligent with savoury oak notes in way on grilled almonds and spice. Long palate defined by a saline and talc finish.

Grapefruit, burnt lime and lemon sherbet greet the palate. Diligent textures and coriander seed note surround the mid palate with a mineral thread. Very energetic, with woven acid and a talc, chalk-like finish.
