2020 Howard Park Scotsdale Shiraz
$40.00
Winner: Top Gold Medal – National Wine Show 2024
Shiraz from the Frankland River and Mount Barker subregions of the Great Southern are blended to highlight the distinctive varietal and regional qualities of our best sites.
The expression of Shiraz from this cool, continental climate is characterised by an intensity and concentration of dark fruits with traces of spice, earth and guiding tannins.

TASTING NOTE
Vintage
An appealing amalgam of blackberry, boysenberry and cassis greet the nose carried upon undercurrents of woodsy spice, ironstone and crushed pink peppercorn. All the dark berries on the nose are present on the palate, accompanied by damson plum and black cherry with hints of Chinese five-spice, fennel seed and licorice root. Supple tannins, finely woven, caress the palate complemented by a balanced and distinctly Great Southern acidity. A wine of eloquence and intensity, it leaves an indelible impression long after the final sip.
Food Match
Drink with ossobuco on polenta or a salad of bresaola, shaved cauliflower & radicchio.
Recommended Cellaring
Drink now or cellar for up to 7 to 10 years.
