2024 Howard Park Leston Shiraz 1.5L Magnum
$100.00
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.
Margaret River
TASTING NOTE
Vintage
Lifted aromas of wild raspberry, forest berries and cut plums, layered with violets and dried herb hints. The solar embrace of the long 2024 growing season has been expertly subsumed into a framework where fruit foregrounds an undercurrent of intriguing savoury complexity. The palate is bright, juicy and refined, with redcurrant and mulberry flowing over fine tannins. Oak is seamlessly integrated, supporting the wine’s precision and balance. Elegant and expressive, it finishes long and fresh, with the signature finesse of mature Margaret River Shiraz vines. You will be rewarded for ageing this incredibly moreish wine but forgiven if it proves impossible…
Food Match
Enjoy alongside barbecued lamb chops with anchovy remoulade.
