  • The beauty of Margaret River with Leeuwin Estate

    6:30 p.m.
    Come on board and join us to a journey in Western Australia, discovering the beauty of Margaret River. Leeuwin Estate is one of the founding wineries in the region and today an iconic estate in Australia’s wine landscape. It is a place where family, terroir and arts converged and the excellence of their wines are recognised as part of the finest in the world. Denis and Tricia Morgan bought this land in 1969 in the middle of the Margaret River with the intention to take it somewhere, a wine direction. In 1972, the Napa’s legend Robert Mondavi supported them in identifying the best sites to implement Leeuwin Estate and produce some premium wines. Seven years later the first commercial vintage was released and since then, wine critics and sommeliers around the world highlighted the finesse, the excellence of the wines alongside some of the best one. Today the 3 generations of founding family work alongside, focusing on the art of fine wines. This evening will focus on a special range from the estate, The Art Series. A collection of the most opulent and age worthy wines of the estate. Each labels showcase paintings from Australia’s leading contemporary artist.

    Medlar never disappoints - my mum (90) & I were guests of my aunt also 90. We were seated in a beautiful quiet banquette at the back (essential with two 90 year olds!!). The staff were wonderful, attentive, knowledgeable and efficient. The cuisine was superb - every morsel a delight. Thank you Medlar. Georgie Stack

    Medlar is my favourite restaurant in London and is always my first choice for special occasions. My sister and I both had crab raviolo with brown shrimp and bisque to start. She had Cornish cod with mussels to follow (excellent) while I had chargrilled calf's liver with spinach, crispy potato galette and confit onions. The puddings were both delicious (panacotta with strawberries and pistachio cake; rhubarb cheesecake) and we had very good chocolate truffles and passionfruit marshmallows with our coffee. We were made to feel very welcome and the service was excellent throughout.

    The welcome, the service and the food were excellent. The restaurant was a little quiet, and the decorative feel is plain, but overall the experience was very good.
