Expert Reviews

95 Points - James Halliday - 02 Aug 2016

Matured in new and second-use barriques for 18 months. Ticks every box: the colour very good, the bouquet an expressive mix of dark berry fruit and neatly folded oak, the medium to full-bodied palate with considerable flavour and texture complexity, the purple and black fruits graciously allowing ripe tannins and oak the curtain call.

Winery Tasting Notes

Colour

Dark Crimson

Aroma

Poached plums and blueberries well spiced with vanilla, cracked pepper, violets and mocha.

Palate

Reminiscent of a freshly baked blue berry muffin with warm supple fruit, gentle caramel and vanilla notes supported by fine guiding tannins.

Margaret River in style with its opulent sweet fruit, open weave tannins and all round generosity.

Winery Profile

History

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 South West 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.

Now over 20 years on, 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. 

"We have worked towards establishing Howard Park as a premium family wine company. This success will be measured by the work we do now for future generations."  Jeff Burch

Our Philosophy

This founding two region philosophy aligns with Howard Park's wine making philosophy which adopts an ethos for integrating the old with the new. Howard Park embraces modern technology whilst employing traditional wine making techniques and produces internationally recognised wines of the highest quality. As a result our Riesling, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz wines are only ever produced in very small quantities, but are noted for their rare balance of elegance and power with a proven history of ageing with increased complexity and interest.

"We have a simple philosophy; premium wine can only come from excellent fruit. Simply, we go to wherever the fruit grows best." Jeff Burch
