A cooler than usual vintage. The fruit source a blend of Mount Barker and Porongurup fruit for this mainstay of Howard Park. Stainless steel ferment for purity. Nic Bowen is chief winemaker.
Howard Park, Riesling, Great Southern, 2023
Very pale lemon in colour. Beautifully fragrant with citrus and jasmine blossom, apple skin, baby powder, flint and stone, mineral water spritz, lime granita and fennel seed with a breathless freshness. Signature tension, tautness and purity of fruit. Dry with an intense fine rasp of texture. Bittersweet citrus and spice flavour that persists long. Another very fine release.
