The Prelude Chardonnay focuses on music instead of paintings like its illustrious Leeuwin Art Series stablemate, but is no less of an impressive wine, especially for so much less money. A generous and tropical style of Chardonnay with lots of toasty, smoky oak leading into pears, peaches, pineapple and figs on the palate, the whole package very full-bodied and rich. An awesome Chardonnay experience from one of Margaret River's "Big Five", Leeuwin Prelude is a must-taste for serious wine lovers.

aromas of pears, ripe stone fruit with hints of lemon peel and brioche flowing through to creamy, leesy, toasty nuances.

There is harmony on the palate where flavours of pears and peaches give way to fennel and fresh herbs with a salty, salivating acid vein that impresses. The elegance combined with the creamy mid-palate texture are intriguing, and where resistance of a second sip is futile. This is a creeper, and it keeps building in the mouth, exciting more and more with every mouthful. Drinking well now through 2027+ and a wonderful match to vegetarian dishes or your favourite white protein.
