- TASTING NOTE: "From the estate Leston Vineyard in Wilyabrup, matured for 22 months in new and used oak. A full-bodied, aristocratic cabernet with a very long life ahead. Cassis, spice, bay leaf and black olive flavours intersect with cedary/cigar box oak and typically firm cabernet tannins. It's not ready yet, but its balance ensures its long-term future." 95 Points - James Halliday, June 2021
- ABOUT THE WINE: Fruit is sourced from the Leston vineyard in Margaret River. Small parcels are hand-picked and sorted to remove matter other than grapes before fermentation. Fermentation occurred in headed-down closed stainless and small open vat steel fermenters. Selected parcels remained on skins post the fermentation to further enhance the tannin profile while others were pressed at dryness to capture fruit vibrancy. Each batch is matured separately in order to build a wine history over time. Barrel maturation: 22 months in 60% new and 40% older French oak barriques. After a light egg white fining and filtration, the wine is bottled.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Howard Park produces wine in both the Margaret River and Great Southern wine regions of Western Australia. Originally founded in 1986 by winemaker John Wade, it now falls under the banner of the Burch Family wine group which includes the Mad Fish, Marchand & Burch and Jete wine brands. With over 30 years experience the viticultural team has grown an intimate, exhaustive knowledge of vines in these areas, culminating in the careful acquisition and development of four properties – Leston and Allingham in Margaret River, and Mount Barrow and Abercrombie in the Great Southern. Leston is now home to all winery operations, including the architecturally-acclaimed cellar door, built in 2000. Burch Family Wines
