HOWARD PARK Abercrombie Cabernet Sauvignon, Great Southern 2008 Bottle
2 * Bottle
About this wine
Beautifully pitched with intense cassis, dark chocolatey aromas, plenty of fruit sweetness, underlying savoury oak and fine-grained tannins, the Howard Park Abercrombie Cabernet displays notable vinosity and flavour richness. A multi-vineyard, multi-regional wine, the fruit derives principally from the Great Southern Region. The "structural soul" of the wine comes from the north-facing Mount Barker vineyard, planted in 1975, planted on lateritic soils, mostly gravely loams and deep clays. The Margaret River fruit component adds weight and texture. Vinification takes place in open top fermenters with some components of the blend barrel fermented.

ABOUT THE WINERY
Howard Park
Howard Park was established by Jeff Burch and John Wade in the mid-1980s and quickly achieved notoriety for its wines. John Wade, a highly innovative and well-respected winemaker, made the first wines. In the late 1990s, after considerable success in the market place, Howard Park decided to move its red wine production to Margaret River to take advantage of its reputation and proximity to a larger population base. Today the winemaking team continues to innovate, producing a range of highly regarded wines from select vineyard sites across Western Australia including Mount Barker, Porongurup, Denmark, Frankland River and Margaret River.
