Flowering in all varieties was delayed 10 days as compared to 2016, with this period generally sunny, resulting in excellent set across most varieties.

Winter of 2017 was typically wet, with Chardonnay being the first variety to burst in late August, followed by the Riesling and Cabernet through September. Flowering in all varieties was approximately ten days earlier than in vintage 2017, and Chardonnay cap fall was mostly complete by November 13. Spring was met by generally mild conditions, with the usual showery and sunny periods resulting in excellent set across most varieties. Summer was warm with very few hot days, and veraison occurred two weeks earlier than in 2017. 2018 was a spectacular year for flowering of the local Marri trees, which kept birds distracted from the ripening vineyards. Harvest commenced in the Riesling in the middle of February, followed by Chardonnay a week later.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003eWinemaking\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003eCool destemmed fruit with some skin contact.

This is Grand Cru quality at what has sadly become Village pricing. A profound Chardonnay destined to become a bucketlist wine. A very pale lemon with a vaguely green hint running through it, this is pristine, intense, beautifully balanced and seamless. The oak has almost been completely absorbed, although it is fair to say that it'll probably look even better in twelve months. The wine is, however, immensely enjoyable now. The nose reveals hints of apricot flesh, limes, citrus skins, oatmeal, Madagascan vanilla, gentle touches of grilled cashews, stonefruits and jasmine. Such intensity but meshed with freshness, energy and elegance. Powerful but poised, there is incredible length here, seemingly never-ending, with laser-sharp acidity just one of the many components. There is complexity already evident, although one suspects it is a shadow of what is to come. The intensity never wavers for an instant over the full journey. Stunning stuff, it will still be magnificent in twenty years, likely even more so, and still have life ahead of it. Leeuwin have made some mindbogglingly good Chardonnays over the years, but I think none better.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — Huon Hooke, The Real Review · 2023 Vintage · Published: 15 March 2026\u003cbr\u003e\n“Light bright yellow, a very youthful colour for a 2023, and the bouquet is likewise fresh but also seriously detailed, with creamy lees, malt, nougat, beeswax and custard apple aromas, the palate similarly complex and profound, with a chew of oaky tannins that lingers on the aftertaste.

Very, very good wine.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— Mike Bennie, The Wine Front · 2023 Vintage · Published: March 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout This Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConcentrated and expressive, with aromas of pear, white peach, lime zest and delicate florals, layered with subtle vanilla and nutty complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palate is refined and elegant, unfolding with fresh orchard fruit, seamless oak and a long, powerful finish with excellent ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntensely concentrated and lifted, the nose arrives with a rush, all fresh cut pear, white peach, ripe lime zest and pith, before jasmine, white florals and vanilla pods emerge, rounded out by cashew meal and toasted macadamia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palate builds and builds. Gentle, natural acidity is orbited by apple, pear, white nectarine and ripe citrus, all showing their own persistence and drive, but never supplanting the wine’s overarching elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe completely integrated oak and delicate, layered texture serve to subtly, quietly hem in the fruit characters as they fan out. Profoundly powerful and immensely long, this is a wine of distinction with a remarkable life ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage: 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape Variety: Chardonnay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: Margaret River \/ Western Australia \/ Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53147765440875,"sku":"SK59026688","price":148.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/ITM602086-leeuwin-estate-art-series-chardonnay-2023_ddabd411-9f12-4716-a2cc-e6cca4fa75c1.png?v=1780388995"},{"product_id":"2016-leeuwin-estate-art-series-chardonnay-750ml","title":"2016 Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay 750ml","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"123\" data-end=\"496\"\u003eThe 2016 Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay is one of Australia’s most iconic and celebrated Chardonnays, consistently ranked among the finest expressions of the variety worldwide.
