Leeuwin Estate, Art Series Shiraz, 2020

Some wines I buy just for the label. If the wine inside is good, then that's a bonus.

Here we have the best of both worlds - a beautiful label, with a beautiful wine inside. Only trouble is, it's so delicious you might quaff it before it gets enough airtime on the wine rack...

Family-owned, Leeuwin Estate is one of Margaret River’s founding wineries and has been responsible for producing some of Australia’s finest wines for nearly 50 years. In 1980, inspired by the emblematic wines of Mouton Rothschild, Leeuwin Estate launched its own much-loved collection of super-premium labels, the ‘Art Series’.

Representing the most opulent and age-worthy of all of Leeuwin’s stock, the ‘Art Series’ features magnificent artwork from contemporary Australian artists, carefully chosen each year by the family.

Described by Vinous’ Josh Raynolds as ‘long-time collectibles…having developed a solid reputation for age-worthiness’, the Art Series is what makes the Leeuwin Estate one of the top names in Australia, and rightly so.
