Tasting note

This was matured in 100% new French oak, with low toasting, for nine months. The nose is inviting, with white peach, pears, barley, white flowers, lemon citrus, slate, hazelnut and yoghurt. It’s delightfully balanced on the palate, with creaminess on the front, but an following attack of acid that’s needed. It’s a clean, pure wine, with hints of salinity and complexity. The oak is seamlessly integrated and provides nuttiness, along with some phenolic structure. Everything here sits where it should, and the finish is indeed memorable – a contemplative, classy wine.

Critics reviews

Erin Larkin 97/100
The 2022 season was warm and low-yielding, particularly for Chardonnay, and many of the wines produced in the region this season can be typified by their nuttiness and a distinct chamomile tea/white flower character. Here, the 2022 Art Series Chardonnay is showing both of those characters, neatly wedged into the authoritative profile of Leeuwin Art Series Chardonnay. Today, for perhaps the first time ever in seeing these wines on release, I note that the oak is a key player in the drinking experience—as ever, seamlessly matched to the fruit and an important part of the wine's style and evident here today. There are toasted nuts, yellow fruits, exotic spices and an open fan of acidity/phenolics through the finish. This 2022 will prove to be a powerful and statuesque player in the wider footprint of Art Series Chardonnays. It's one to collect, but for drinking in the short/immediate term, decanting is recommended. Sealed under screw cap. The wine was scheduled to be released March 9.

About this wine

Margaret River

Margaret River

Located on the most south-westerly point of Australia, the Margaret River region sprang to life during the 1960s and 1970s as a result of Professor Harold Olmo’s and Dr John Gladstone’s research into its viticultural potential. Vasse Felix was planted in 1967, Moss Wood in 1970 and Cullen in 1971; since then the plantings have grown exponentially, and the number of wineries has increased six-fold.
