Reviewing these wines (as part of a range of blind tastings) was a highlight of the wine week for me.
The wines really are very good, and the contrast between the chardonnays is fascinating. Over a couple of days, my favourite fluctuated back and forth. Ultimately, I prefer the Piccadilly now, and would like to see the Lenswood in a few years — and I absolutely loved the Pinot Noir.

With both the chardonnays and pinot, I was surprised to see that the vintage was 2025, given that the 2024s — and, in the case of the Leeuwin Art Series, the 2023s — from Margaret River are only just coming to market.

Regardless, when the wines are this good, the question is largely academic.

Grosset – Lenswood – Chardonnay – 2025. Wow. This is seriously impressive. Precise, laser-focused fruit is the star, but there is so much more to this wine. Intensity? Sure, but there is also balance and there is a degree of harmony. The acidity is the unsung hero in this wine, adding excitement and verve. The palate is basically seamless, but at this early stage, is full of nervous energy, giving insights into the ultimate quality. 13.2% alc | 96 points | $97

Grosset – Piccadilly – Chardonnay – 2025. Another cracking wine, and more approachable than the Lenswood at this stage. This is such a good drink, with the ripe fruit taking on a fleshy, juicy component. The oak adds impact but is not overdone. Despite the charming approachability, this is a serious, powerful wine. That power and depth gradually evolves over time in the glass, highlighting the quality of both the fruit and the winemaking. Exciting! 13.2% alc | 96 points | $97

Grosset – Pinot Noir – 2025. Wow. Wow. WOW. For what is only a very medium bodied red, it is hard to comprehend how they have packed so much complexity and quality into this wine. Pristine fruit has cherry overtones, but also savoury complexity. The mouthfeel is a highlight, the textural notes complementing the fruit. Seamless, this is incredibly moreish. Lovely, pretty, very youthful, this is a stunning effort that can be drunk with confidence any time over the next decade. 13.5% alc | 95.5 points | $97
