Description
Howard Park, one of Western Australia’s pioneering wine families with a 30 year history and two generations of tireless work of the Burch family, they specialise in the state’s premier grape-growing regions of Margaret River and the Great Southern. They are also part of Australia’s First Families of Wine (AFFW), an exciting collective of 12 multi-generational family-owned wine producers.
Winemaker Janice McDonald and the family are still celebrating after winning Gourmet Traveller Winemaker of the Year for 2018. Peter Forrestal, of Gourmet Traveller said “Janice McDonald is an astounding winemaker: demanding of herself and others; rigorous; painstaking in her attention to detail.”
Margaret River is Australia’s most spectacular wine region with breathtaking coastline, Karri forests and maritime climate perfectly suited to premium grape growing. 100% estate grown fruit Howard Park makes beautiful wines with depth of fruit, balance and structure that overdeliver across the board.
Howard Park was founded in 1986 with just two wines to its stable – a Cabernet Sauvignon & a Riesling. The Riesling is remarkable in that it has enjoyed unbroken vintages since its inaugural release. It was known as the Great Southern Riesling until 2015, when its contributing vineyard sites (Mount Barker & Porongurup) became two separate wines in their own right. Known as some of Australia’s most collected Rieslings, each can cellar for up to 20 years.
The awesomely scenic and wildly remote Porongurup sub region of the Great Southern produces fine and linear Riesling with great varietal purity and exactness. This region takes its name from the ancient, granitic bolder-like domes that rise 670m above sea level to dominate the surrounding landscape.
From the winery: Delicate floral notes of citrus blossom and wafts of the rich perfume of floriad gardenia meld with green pear skin and wet stone notes. The fine fruit flavours of yellow and green citrus are gently textured with a chalk like mineral dust. This is a delicate, lithe wine with great fruit purity, line and finesse.
