A Legacy of Excellence
Leeuwin Estate, one of the five founding wineries of the renowned Margaret River district in Western Australia, holds a special place in the world of fine wines. Guided by two generations and a team of highly skilled winemakers, this family-owned estate consistently produces wines that rival the best in the world.
A Visionary Beginning
In 1972, the visionary Napa Valley winemaker, Robert Mondavi, recognized the immense potential of the Leeuwin vineyard site for producing premium wines. He provided mentorship to Denis and Tricia Horgan, who transformed their cattle farm into the magnificent Leeuwin Estate. The first commercial vintage in 1979 put Leeuwin on the global map when Decanter Magazine bestowed its highest recommendation upon the 1981 "Art Series" Chardonnay.
