    Wow! Exceptional purity of fruit here with plum, red berries, thyme and a smidge of eucalypt on the nose. The palate offers these, and whilst initially a little closed, breathes to offer plushness. Expressive plums and red fruits. There is oak, but it is supportive in the best kind of way - encouraging the fruit to be its best whilst never threatening to micromanage. Supremely elegant and, with air, lip smacking delicious.

    The Howard Park Leston Shiraz was created from a selection of the best batches of Shiraz grown on their 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.

    History

    Much of the regions success dates back to the late 1800's when Italian immigrants Albert Credaro, Jimmy Meleri and Domenic Garuccio planted vines to make some of the good old table wines from the Old Country. Some learned gents took a punt on commercial production in the late 1960's, with the recommendation of the very learned Dr. John Gladstone in mind. The Doc pointed out the Margaret River region cool climate would give growers a fine yield of fruit to work with. Too right he was!
