Leeuwin Estate Art Series Shiraz 2020 is a full-bodied red wine produced from Shiraz grapes in the Margaret River region of Western Australia. Leeuwin Estate is one of the five founding wineries of the now highly regarded Margaret River district. This Northern-Rhône-inspired Shiraz was fermented with 20% whole bunches and matured in 600l demi-muids for 18 months. "The 2020 Art Series Shiraz is complex and dense in the mouth. It has considerably more fruit power and concentration in the mouth than the cool 2021 release tasted alongside. There is red and purple fruits, alongside a skein of shapely savoury tannin. It is fully resolved and ductile, very good, almost savoury (a very good thing)." Wine Advocate, 2023

The 2020 vintage was a very good vintage in Margaret River for the variety, and at that point, perhaps the best yet—the low yields and warm/dry conditions played into the hands of the variety. The 2020 Art Series Shiraz typifies this, in that the tannins are resolved, and in the context of Margaret River, really quite firm. The Shiraz clones on the estate vineyard in Wallcliffe are 470, Waldron and Peppy Park cuttings (planting 2019). Sealed under screw cap. - Erin Larkin

2% Malbec. An excellent vintage for the region. Abundant marri blossom kept the birds off the grapes. 20% whole bunches. 30% new oak for the first stage of maturation of individual lots then, as usual, blending and the blend was aged further, being bottled in early December 2021.
Very reticent nose and still a baby – much more so than the 2019 Siblings Shiraz). Not really that communicative at the moment. It’s all buried! Acidity and finely extracted tannins dominate the fruit. Lots of energy but it’s all tightly furled at present. (JR)
