Margaret River Leeuwin Estate 1992
Denne rødvin fra 1992 er produceret af Leeuwin Estate, som er beliggende i Margaret River i Western Australia. Vinen er fremstillet på Cabernet Sauvignon, der er en af verdens mest kendte blå druer til strukturerede rødvine. Druen dyrkes traditionelt i områder som Bordeaux, Californien, Washington og Toscana, men har også etableret sig stærkt i det sydvestlige Australien.
Margaret River ligger på den sydvestlige spids af Western Australia mellem Det Indiske Ocean mod vest og Det Sydlige Ocean mod syd. Trods sin relativt unge vinhistorie fra slutningen af 1960'erne er det i dag en af Australiens mest prestigefyldte vinregioner. Området dækker cirka 5.500 hektar plantet vinmark på en smal halvø, der nyder godt af et stærkt maritimt klima. Klimaet er udpræget middelhavspræget med varme, tørre somre, der modereres af havvinde, samt milde vintre.
Jordbunden i regionen består af gamle, dybe grus- og lerjorde over et grundfjeld af granit. Denne kombination af det maritime klima og den grusholdige jordbund skaber særlige betingelser for vindyrkning. Margaret River er især anerkendt som hjemsted for nogle af Australiens fineste vine og er særligt kendt for sin produktion af Cabernet Sauvignon i Bordeaux-stil, ofte baseret på den lokale Houghton-klon. Vinen er fremstillet og tappet af Leeuwin Estate og har en alkoholprocent på 13,5.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Margaret River
Margaret River lies on the south-western tip of Western Australia between the Indian Ocean to the west and the Southern Ocean to the south and is one of Australia's most prestigious wine regions despite its relatively young history from the late 1960s. The area covers around 5,500 hectares of planted vineyard on a narrow peninsula that benefits from a strongly maritime climate.
The climate is distinctly Mediterranean with warm dry summers moderated by sea winds and mild winters, while the soils are old, deep gravelly clay over granite bedrock. The area is especially known for its Bordeaux-style Cabernet Sauvignon (often with the Houghton clone), structured Cabernet-Merlot blends and elegant Chardonnay, complemented by Sauvignon Blanc-Semillon blends and Shiraz. The style is typically concentrated and structured with precise fruit aromas; Cabernet shows currant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco, herbs and firm but rounded tannins, while Chardonnay has stone fruit, citrus, hazelnut, lees character and pronounced acidity. The area is known as home to some of Australia's finest Cabernet and Chardonnay wines.
