2009 Art Series Riesling
The “Art Series” represents Leeuwin’s most opulent & ageworthy wines from each vintage. They are identified with paintings commissioned from leading contemporary Australian artists.
Variety: 100% Riesling
Alcohol: 12.0%
Cellaring Potential: 10-15 years
Artwork: John Olsen, entitled 'Frogs in Riesling'
A wine of brilliant clarity, which has a very pale straw colour with lime green, tinges.
The nose shows lifted aromas of citrus blossom, musk, green apple, lime and quince mixed with a delicious mineral edge, which are indicators of an excellent wine.
A wine of exceptional length, the palate displays classic Rieslings flavours of lime and grapefruit and green apple. This is a wine with great intensity and depth of flavour. The palate finishes with clean crisp succulent acidity.
The 2009 wine we believe compares very well with our renowned 2002 vintage.
