Leeuwin Estate Prelude Chardonnay 2023 750ml

The nose is aromatic and perfumed, with lemon flower, chamomile, and black tea. The fruit spectrum is built around nashi pear, white nectarine, lemon flesh, and grapefruit. Subtleties of iodine, graphite, cinnamon, brioche, and roasted almonds are elegantly wrapped together to create delicate complexity.

The palate is lively, with intense fruits such as sliced lime, pear, and custard apple. A finely textured and layered mid-palate is marked by natural laced acidity, forming the corridor. Savoury flavors and spice work in tandem, resulting in a lengthy finish with delicate talc-like tension.
