2025 Leeuwin Art Series Riesling 6 Pack

Leeuwin Estate has stuck with its riesling over the years, and it's a good thing too. In the best years, it really does come up trumps and this one stacks up with any previous releases. It's one of the finest and most delicately presented rieslings I can recall from Leeuwin, with a sort of talcy, bath salts character, albeit somewhat subdued, and a minerality that threads endlessly. Faint hint of lemon rind and spice, and a crunchy mouthfeel, with an extended palate profile. This is a pretty smart example of a Margaret River riesling.

Jane Faulkner - Halliday Wine Companion

Ah, this smells wonderful, like a citrus grove, especially of lemon and mandarin blossom, and there are some fennel fronds wafting through. The palate is juicy and lively with more lemony goodness, some lime juice with talc-like acidity making this so refreshing.

Erin Larkin - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2025 Art Series Riesling is a beautiful wine—fleshy and a little exotic, with notes of basil and lime zest, white flowers, green apple and lemongrass. In the mouth, the wine is packed with salivating acidity and abundant mid-palate fruit. This is one of the few Rieslings from Margaret River, and it's consistently very good. 12% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Tom Kline - Winepilot

Quite an opulent opening here, led by cantaloupe, white peach, ripe lime, lemongrass and green apple, followed by flickers of bergamot, shaved fennel and mandarin pith. There’s some cinnamon quill as it warms, and a floral tone in the ilk of gardenia flowers. It’s lifted and immediately inviting. The palate is tensile, with a firm cut of lemony acid slicing through a nice volume of crushed green apple, grapefruit, finger lime and wet-stone minerality. Freshness defines the finish as the acid draws it to a salivating close. There’s a lot of wine here for the price, and this classic Leeuwin Cuvée delivers thirst-slaking freshness in good measure. A good release.

Bright and expressive with aromas of lemon zest, grapefruit, struck match, lime leaves, margarita and sherbet. The palate is tightly wound with electric, nervy acidity that leads into a mineral, mouthwatering finish. Ready to go now but will do well with time in bottle. Great fruit and length from old vines planted in 1977 and 1978.

Gary Walsh - The Wine Front

It’s the Art Series label that never changes, because it’s so good. Quite some exotic perfume here, lime leaf, lemongrass, lime, green apple, chamomile tea and fennel. It’s a zesty and spicy sort of wine, with a subtle citrus pulp and gin and tonic bite, a light grainy grip to texture, pink grapefruit, with a sappy and spicy finish of good length. It’s not a classic expression of Riesling, as such, more marching to the beat of its own drum. No bad thing. It’s interesting and good to drink.

Angus Hughson - Vinous

The 2025 Riesling Art Series is elegant and open knit, offering ample aromas of melon and pear with touches of musk and spice. The palate is mid-weight, with creamy acidity, reserved apple flavors and supple textures. Best enjoyed young.
