Great wines are born in great vineyards, and at Leeuwin the viticulturist and winemaker work hand in hand throughout the entire vinification process. Since inaugural release, Leeuwin Estate's mission has been to produce wines that rank with the best in the world through the pursuit of excellence. Today Leeuwin has been recognised through the receipt of numerous awards for its wines and restaurant, architecture, environment, arts initiatives, and as a leader in wine tourism. Broadly following European winemaking techniques, Leeuwin is concentrating on achieving complexity, balance and longevity in its Semillon Sauvigon Blanc accord, through a blend of modern and traditional methods.
