2020 Howard Park Leston Shiraz
$40.00
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 subregion of Margaret River. The soils in this vineyard are shallow lateritic gravels over sandy, clay loam.
Small parcels are handpicked, 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.

TASTING NOTE
Vintage
Glistening, deep ruby in hue, this wine reveals a captivating fusion of red and black fruits, adorned with hints of dried herbs, warm earth and undertones of subtle spice. Macerated strawberry, Satsuma plum, dried orange peel and dark red cherry intertwine with sarsaparilla, wet mint, sage, white pepper, and hints of savoury grilled meat. The palate unfurls with velvety softness, moving gracefully, guided by a fine acidity and powdery tannin profile. A harmonious composition of finesse and depth, this wine invites contemplation with its elongated finish filled with lingering impressions of red berries. A testament to modern craftsmanship, this Margaret River Shiraz achieves a rare equilibrium, inviting connoisseurs to savour its refined and elegant expression.
