2024 Leeuwin Estate Art Series Sauvignon Blanc
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.
