- TASTING NOTE: "This outstanding wine is now sourced from Howard Park’s Leston vineyard in Margaret River. It’s such an elegant and refined cabernet displaying all the varietal integrity of blackcurrant, bay leaf and a minerally graphite black olive mix. A slightly chalky texture edges in to give the palate a structural feel while the tannins are aligned, contributing to its detail and palate length. There are many years in the cellar ahead for this puppy. " 98 Points - Ray Jordan, WA Wine Review 2024
- ABOUT THE WINE: Sourced from the famed Leston vineyard in Margaret River. Small, pristine parcels of fruit were hand-picked, sorted, and destemmed prior to fermentation. Fermentation occurred in small open stainless steel vats with careful twice daily plunging of the cap to extract flavours and tannins from the skins. Select parcels remained on skins post fermentation to further enhance the tannin profile while others were pressed at dryness to capture maximum fruit vibrancy. Each batch was matured separately in French oak barriques in order to maximise the choices when it came blending. This wine was assembled from specially selected barrels and was bottled after a light fining and filtration. Barrel maturation: 18 months in 30% new, 30% second use, and 40% older French oak barriques.
- 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
