The seeds of Leeuwin Estate were sown in 1972 by the Napa Valley icon Robert Mondavi, who offered mentorship to Denis and Tricia Horgan, former cattle farmers who were sitting on a veritable vine goldmine in Margaret Valley. In 1979, after transforming their land, Leeuwin Estate released its first wine - it has since become an internationally renowned winery, exporting to over 30 countries around the world.
The Prelude Vineyards Chardonnay is a top-class Western Australian white, crafted from three distinct clones of the Burgundy grape - Gingin, Davis, and Bernard. They all spent 10 months in oak barrels before bottling, imparting hints of butter, toasted nuts, and nougat to the nose. These aromas sit alongside a blast of tart fruits - white peach, lemon zest, and green apple.
On the palate, this is a medium-bodied affair, with crisp acidity and layers of texture. The orchard fruit notes continue to the palate, joined by sweet hints of quince, orange verbena, and candied lemon. From the depth and structure already on the palate, it is clear that this wine can age for some time. Consider pairing it with creamy pasta dishes, soft pungent cheese, or a piece of white fish.

Leeuwin Estate Prelude Vineyards Chardonnay 2022
overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
