Lemon blossom, pear and fresh citrus rise first, followed by white peach, a flicker of chamomile and a gentle savoury note that gives the wine shape and quiet complexity. The palate is energetic and finely textured, with lime, orchard fruit and a soft creamy breadth running through the middle. There is real polish here, but the wine never loses its line, finishing fresh, elegant and subtly saline, with a lovely sense of lift from start to finish. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"711\" data-end=\"1050\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"711\" data-end=\"724\"\u003eFor when:\u003c\/strong\u003e the food is elegant, the afternoon is stretching out, and the white needs both charm and poise.\u003cbr data-start=\"820\" data-end=\"823\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"823\" data-end=\"838\"\u003ePairs with:\u003c\/strong\u003e roast chicken, grilled prawns, creamy fish dishes, or mushroom risotto with herbs.\u003cbr data-start=\"921\" data-end=\"924\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"924\" data-end=\"954\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eIf this wine were a place:\u003c\/strong\u003e a sunlit Margaret River terrace, with citrus in the air and the ocean not far beyond the trees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1052\" data-end=\"1634\"\u003eLeeuwin Estate is one of Margaret River’s benchmark producers, a family estate whose wines have helped define the region’s global reputation for Chardonnay. The Prelude range offers a more open, earlier-drinking expression than the iconic Art Series wines, but it still carries the estate’s hallmark precision and quiet sophistication. The 2022 vintage was described by Leeuwin as a particularly strong year, and the wine is made from 100% Chardonnay with fermentation in French oak, followed by maturation on lees to build texture and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55661648216449,"sku":null,"price":31.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/2022PreludeVineyards_Chardonnay_LeeuwinEstate.png?v=1778591513","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2022-prelude-chardonnay-leeuwin-estate","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
