A Margaret River Gem from One of Australia's Most Celebrated Fine Wine Estates

My Wine Man on Leeuwin Estate

Leeuwin Estate is one of Australia's most iconic fine wine producers — established in 1974 on land identified by Robert Mondavi himself as one of the world's finest wine-growing sites, and home to the legendary Art Series Chardonnay that has benchmarked Australian white wine for over four decades. The Art Series Sauvignon Blanc is a different expression entirely from the tropical, fruit-forward Marlborough style that dominates the global market. Margaret River's maritime climate produces Sauvignon Blanc of restraint, texture, and quiet sophistication — expressive, but never loud.

Tasting Notes

Pale straw with a green tinge. Fresh lime, citrus zest, and green apple lead, followed by subtle white peach, herbs, and a gentle mineral thread. The palate is light to medium-bodied with a slightly rounded texture, fresh acidity, and a clean, elegant dry finish.

Style & Drinking Window

Light to medium-bodied with fresh acidity and a clean, dry mineral finish. Drinking beautifully now and will hold comfortably through 2027. Serve well-chilled at 8–10°C. No decanting required.

Food Pairing

The restrained citrus character and gentle mineral texture of the 2024 Leeuwin Estate Art Series Sauvignon Blanc make it a lovely match for The Bare Bird Premium Free Range Chicken Tenderloin from My Meat Man. The wine's fresh acidity and herb-tinged mineral finish complement the lean, delicate flavour of free-range chicken tenderloin beautifully — whether pan-seared with lemon, capers, and fresh tarragon, grilled with a light herb and olive oil marinade, or served as a Vietnamese-style salad with lime dressing and fresh mint.

Why This Is a Smart Buy

At HK$219, this is a more refined and terroir-driven expression of Sauvignon Blanc from one of Australia's most respected estates. It offers a sophisticated alternative to Marlborough style — quieter, more textural, and more food-focused, from the estate that Robert Mondavi identified as one of the world's finest wine-growing sites.
