Leeuwin Estate Art Series Riesling 2024 is a vibrant and focused Riesling with lifted aromas of lemon sherbet, candied lime, and chalk. On the palate, it is light-bodied yet expressive, showing pink grapefruit, Tahitian lime, and sea spray, supported by bright acidity, minerality, and a finely textured, talc-like finish. Elegant, fresh, and precise, from vines planted around 1976.

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.
