Howard Park A.S.W Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz

Cabernet Blends | Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia

The A.S.W. is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, both grown at the Leston vineyard. First made in 2016, its name pays tribute to Amy Burch’s parents, Alex Stephen Wee and Annie Sheila Wee, and is an acknowledgement of the input from Amy and her family to the establishment and continuation of Howard Park.

It represents a departure from the traditional Margaret River blending recipe of Cabernet with other Bordeaux grape varieties such as Merlot. In a stylistic departure for Howard Park, it is also the only wine produced by the winery that has a significant use of American oak.

Intense blueberry, vanilla, chocolate, and dark cherry, supported by a hint of black olive and subtle cinnamon and anise seasoning. The palate is plush and brimming with powerful berry notes, intermingled with vanilla and coconut. Persistent flavours, fine ripe tannins, a lavish texture, and spice complexity have melded well to produce this opulent and luxuriant wine.
