Description Established in 2009 by Bill and Vicki Widin, 5 Red Star Leogate Estate is only 12 years old, but is already a formidable force. As Halliday says, they’ve had “a string of wine show successes for their very impressive portfolio”. “Hand-picked, standard Leogate chardonnay vinification, except here the oak and stainless steel split is 90% fermented in new and used French hogsheads, 10% in stainless steel, blended after 10 months. Presumably no facility for whole-bunch pressing. Driven by stone fruit rather than citrus, and best consumed sooner than later… 92pts” (Halliday Wine Companion, James Halliday). To 2023.
