Description
Enjoy a very pleasing Hunter Valley Chardonnay with scores of 93pts and 92pts. For Sam Kim, Wine Orbit its "inviting" aromas are followed by a "… succulent palate delivers excellent weight and silky texture, wonderfully framed by well-integrated acidity, finishing flavoursome and delectable. 93pts.”
Toni Paterson writing in The Halliday Wine Companion calls it “A ripe style of Chardonnay with excellent energy and freshness. Juicy white nectarines and sweet lemon, with a touch of warming spice on the close. Simple yet satisfying. 92pts”.
John Lemann, in The Australian notices: "… a prim nose of lime, pink lady apple, lemon peel and lemon cheesecake, then a palate of lemon sherbet, peach, orange pith and woody spice, means every element getting the chance to shine."
Established in 2009 by Bill and Vicki Widin, Leogate Estate once the prized vineyard of Len Evans, a pioneer of modern Australian wine, and is already a formidable force. Last year marked their 10th consecutive 5 Red Star Halliday rating, an extremely impressive feat considering they were established a little over a decade ago.
