Leeuwin Estate Prelude Cabernet Sauvignon Margaret River 2023 Wine Bar | Featured Red voluminous finish with good acidLeeuwin Estate is one of the most prestigious names in Margaret River, founded in 1973 with early guidance from Robert Mondavi and famous for its benchmark Art Series Chardonnay. Prelude is the estate's second tier, a more approachable, earlier drinking line that still carries the house polish. This Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a region that rivals Bordeaux for the grape, with a maritime climate that keeps it fresh and structured rather than jammy.
