Leeuwin Estate, Margaret River (Western Australia) Riesling “Art Series” 2012

($22, Old Bridge Cellars): Leeuwin Estate, one of Western Australia’s best producers, is known for their stunning Artist Series Chardonnays.  Well, they now are also known for their Art Series Rieslings, judging by this stellar wine.  Dry and stony, the citrus tinged finish lingers seemingly forever.  Clean and pure, it cuts this summer’s heat and humidity, but would be equally welcome accompanying spicy Asian dishes in the fall.
