Howard Park is always the result of the most stringent selection criteria all the way from vineyard to bottle, only the finest fruit and most perfect ferments are included. Extremely high quality parcels of fruit were identified on the vine, two harvests of Great Southern and Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon, assembled alongside a small block of exceptional Pemberton Merlot.
Each batch was treated separately with fermentation in small open vessels with extensive pumpovers aiding full flavour and texture extraction. The Cabernet Sauvignon was allowed to remain on skins for 20 days post-fermentation to futher develop the textural complexity of the wine. Both batches of Cabernet Sauvignon were put to 100% new French oak barriques, the Merlot was put to about 75% new French oak with the balance being one year old wood. The wine was allowed to mature in our air conditioned barrel hall for almost two years prior to final blending and bottling. No fining was required and only a course clean up filtration performed.
TASTING NOTES
Vibrant red colour. Concentrated aromas of dark chocolate and rich berry fruits, attractive cedary notes. The palate offers intense fruit characters with impressive soft but complex textural components. The wine has youthful freshness and lively fruitiness and is yet to develop secondary complexity. Decanting and breathing is recommended, long term cellaring will realise the wine's true potential.

About the Howard Park Winery
Howard Park Wines was established in 1986 and was one of the original pioneers of the Great Southern region
The founding owner of Howard Park, John Wade ventured west to Western Australia’s southwest with one belief: “I don’t know any other region where you can produce both Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon as premium wines”. This founding belief began the journey of Howard Park. Howard Park remains a family owned winery under the guidance of Jeff and Amy Burch. With a philosophy to produce wines of distinct regional character with an uncompromising commitment to quality Howard Park has forged an international reputation for their wines and an expanded range including single vineyard and multi regional wines from Margaret River and the Great Southern. The two region philosophy aligns with Howard Park’s goal which adopts an ethos for integrating the old with the new. Howard Park»
