Art Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Leeuwin Estate Art Series Cabernet

The one, the only, the Art Series Cabernet Sauvignon from Leeuwin Estate continues to rate in Margaret River’s top wines each year.

The 2021 vintage has a nose which is greeted by blackcurrants and dark cherries alongside anise, clove, cardamom, and bay leaf. It is highly lifted and perfumed with lavender and basil flowers. Complexity is evident with iodine, saline and petrichor notations.

Drive, direction and line formulate the shape and frame on the palate. Dark forest fruits surround cedar, olives, and graphite. There is distinct minerality threaded within, leading to a fine silky tannin profile.

This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. Consider serving it alongside a rich beef stew, as the wine’s bold character holds its own against the robust flavours. Alternatively, a charcuterie board featuring cured meats and pickled vegetables will bring out the wine’s fruitiness and acidity. This versatile Cabernet Sauvignon elevates any dining experience, making it an excellent choice for more formal gatherings.

96 points Cassandra Charlick, Decanter

Immediately captivating: the nose is vibrant and energetic, while simultaneously the epitome of elegance and poise with restrained fruit power. This is a silk evening gown of a wine: form-fitting, precisely tailored, mellifluous and effortlessly chic. Abundant in aromatics and lifted perfume, fine red fruits include wild strawberry tip, bramble and just-ripe blackcurrant, alongside hints of piquancy: Szechwan pepper, clove and a fine dusting of deep, lightly toasted cocoa powder. There’s a charismatic iodine weave, the savoury and slightly saline minerality proving a foil to both the fruit flesh and the floral hues. Displaying extremely fine-grained tannins, it’s firm, focused and delicate, with a graphite line, fresh acidity and plenty that will reveal itself in good time. Tasted pre-release.

95 points Erin Larkin, Robert Parker Wine Advocate
On the palate, the wine is perfumed and fine, lightweight and flowing. It’s a beautiful wine to drink now, thanks to its powdery tannins. It’s all about the tannins here; it’s whippy, like fresh new growth on a plant. I would drink this anytime from release; it offers tremendous pleasure just as it is.

Margaret River Wine Region

Nestled in the southwestern corner of Australia, Margaret River is celebrated for its exceptional wines and stunning landscapes. This region has carved out a prominent place in the global wine industry, thanks to its unique terroir and commitment to quality. This exploration delves into the secrets behind Margaret River’s viticultural success, highlighting its standout wines, the influence of its climate, the award-winning wineries that define the area, and how these outstanding wines compare to others across Australia.

Signature Varietals

Margaret River is renowned for producing a diverse range of wines, each reflecting the region’s distinctive characteristics. Among the most celebrated are its robust Cabernet Sauvignons and elegant Chardonnays, alongside delightful blends of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. The combination of the region’s Mediterranean climate, fertile soils, and refreshing ocean breezes creates an ideal environment for cultivating grapes of exceptional quality. This unique synergy allows winemakers to craft wines that not only express the terroir but also delight the palate with complexity and depth.

Climate: A Key to Success

The remarkable stability of Margaret River’s climate is a key factor in its winemaking excellence, setting it apart from the more extreme weather conditions found on Australia’s east coast. While the east coast grapples with the unpredictable fluctuations of La Niña and El Niño, which can lead to erratic weather patterns, Margaret River enjoys a temperate and consistent climate. This stability is crucial for producing wines with a distinct regional character year after year. With mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers, grapes can ripen slowly, allowing for the development of complex flavours that define the region’s wines.

Oceanic Influences

The Indian and Southern Oceans play an essential role in moderating Margaret River’s climate, helping to regulate temperature extremes and providing a stable growing environment. This moderating influence ensures that grapes avoid the stress of rapid temperature changes, leading to more even ripening and higher quality fruit. As a result, the consistent climate contributes to the production of high-quality vintages that winemakers can reliably predict, enabling them to plan their practices effectively. In contrast to the east coast’s dramatic weather shifts, Margaret River’s stability offers a significant advantage, resulting in wines that showcase a distinctive and recognisable character.

Award-Winning Excellence

The award-winning reputation of Margaret River is extensive, highlighting the region’s commitment to excellence in winemaking. Notable wineries such as Fraser Gallop, Xanadu, Amelia Park, Domaine Naturaliste, Leeuwin Estate, Cullen, Pierro, and Moss Wood consistently garner accolades for their exceptional craftsmanship. These producers expertly blend innovation with traditional techniques, creating wines that regularly earn recognition on the international stage. Margaret River wines, particularly its Cabernet Sauvignons and Chardonnays, are often regarded as benchmarks for their varietals, setting high standards within the industry. The unique combination of climate, geography, and winemaking expertise gives these wines a distinctive edge, making them a top choice for both connoisseurs and casual wine lovers alike.

A Dominant Force in Wine

The success of Margaret River wines in international competitions further underscores the region’s winemaking excellence. Many award-winning wines across various categories originate from this part of Western Australia, reflecting the consistent quality and innovation within Margaret River’s winemaking community. The region’s ability to produce exceptional wines year after year cements its status as a dominant force in the Australian wine landscape.
