2018 Howard Park Leston Shiraz 1.5L Magnum
$88.00
The Howard Park Leston Shiraz was created from a selection of the best batches of Shiraz grown on our Leston vineyard (specifically, blocks 4 and 17) which is located in the Willyabrup sub-region of Margaret River. The soils in this vineyard are shallow lateritic gravels over sandy, clay loam.
Small parcels are hand-picked, and all batches are sorted to remove matter other than grapes, prior to fermentation. Fermentation occurs in open vat and closed stainless steel fermenters with diligent cap management to extract fine fruit tannin and strong varietal flavour.
The 1.5L magnum format is ideal for collectors and provides the opportunity to cellar this wine long term and preserve its expressive fruit flavours and complex structure to celebrate a milestone occasion.
