And you’d perk up. It’s a wine that tends to be scintillating in youth, driven by all manner of citrus flavours – lemon, pink grapefruit with a dash of lime but also a mille-feuille of leesy lusciousness, oak spices and a moreish savouriness. It seems powerful and explosive with its acidity, drive and energy yet manages to remain classy and complex.\" \u003cstrong\u003e97 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cem\u003eHalliday Wine Companion, Jane Faulkner (2025)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Margaret River","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52374292627737,"sku":"1459","price":195.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0755\/7831\/0937\/files\/IMG_3427.jpg?v=1778472060","url":"https:\/\/nationalwinecentrestore.com.au\/products\/leeuwin-estate-art-series-chardonnay-2022","provider":"National Wine Centre of Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
