From its beginnings, Howard Park has made Riesling from the Great Southern wine region of Western Australia. Riesling is demanding, sensitive yet tough enough to thrive in the vagaries of this cool climate.
Wines made of Riesling grapes are exceptionally revealing and critical of the environment in which they grow and the human interactions engaged to create them.
TASTING NOTE
A brilliant, pale lemon in colour with a many and varied mix of fresh and poached fruit notes. The lively citrus zest and green pear, the rich lemon curd and quince give great dimension to the bouquet.
These same rich yet fresh flavours build on the palate which is textured with a soft, talcy mineral note and driven by the line of fine citrus acidity.
This wine has distinct fruit notes, a warmth in its ripeness, length of flavour and finely balanced acidity
WINEMAKING
Harvest – Mid to late March 2018
Each vineyard block is vinified separately in stainless steel tanks.
After settling bright, the free run juice is racked before a long and cold fermentation to preserve freshness and fine fruit flavours.
After a light milk fining and filtration, the wine is bottled
