Leeuwin Estate Prelude Chardonnay 2021

Only Leeuwin Estate could come up with a second label of such extreme quality. The quartz-green colour heralds a laser-cut wine of great purity with a perfumed, grapefruit-accented bouquet underscored by cleansing, refreshing acidity on the palate. Oak was an agent in its structure but plays no part on its palate. Drink from: 2023. Drink by: 2036. Special Value. Score – 97. (James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au, June 27, 2023)
