Bright, elegant, and fragrant, the nose has heightened floral notes of violets, lavender, cardamom and pepper medley. The core of fruit is in the line of black cherries and blueberries. Clove, cinnamon, burnt toffee and petrichor provide delicate complex. Gentle textures, woven layers and bright acidity meet seamlessly. Dense Satsuma plums, redcurrants and raspberries surround the mid palate. Elements of smoked cedar and cracked coffee bean combine with a mineral thread, leading to long structural tannins.

98% Shiraz, 2% Malbec.

Leeuwin Estate releases wines under the Art Series, Prelude Vineyards and Siblings labels. The "Art Series" represents Leeuwin's most opulent and age-worthy wines and are identified with paintings commissioned from leading contemporary Australian Artists.

Shiraz grapes from Leeuwin’s top parcels are fermented in both open and closed fermenters, with 20% whole bunches preserved. In Tim’s view, a dash of Malbec adds ‘colour, weight, spice and tannin.’ Fermentation takes place in one to three-year old barrels, and the wine is matured in barrel for eighteen months.
