From the Porongurups in the Great Southern, this wine is in its second year of release.
The Porongurup Riesling is the finest cut of free juice from two of the oldest vineyard plantings in the Porongurup sub-region. Both vineyards sit high yet on opposing shoulders of the volcanic outcrop that dominates the surrounding landscape.
The warm north facing site at an elevation of 333 m provides intense citrus fruit character to the wine, while the south facing site at 226M and cooled by the breezes off the southern ocean provides a hint of delicacy, white blossom perfume and restraint.
Colour
Luminous pale lime/yellow in colour
Aroma
A lemon blossom scent that is rich, sweet and reminiscent of the fruit to come.
Palate
The intense lemon lime citrus flavours of the palate are finessed with a shale-like minerality. A fine liner acidity provides length and structure to complete the wine.
Cellaring
In its youth, the Porongurup Riesling is bracing and bright in style, full of abundant fresh fruit, a mineral texture and tight acidity. In time the wine will develop a nut praline and poached citrus richness whilst retaining its linear acidity and stone-like minerality. Howard Park Rieslings will cellar for more than 10 years.

History
Howard Park Wines was established in 1986 and was one of the original pioneers of the Great Southern region. The founding owner of Howard Park, John Wade ventured west to Western Australia's South West with one belief: "I don't know any other region where you can produce both Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon as premium wines". This founding belief began the journey of Howard Park.
Now over 20 years on, Howard Park remains a family owned winery under the guidance of Jeff and Amy Burch. With a philosophy to produce wines of distinct regional character with an uncompromising commitment to quality Howard Park has forged an international reputation for their wines and an expanded range including single vineyard and multi regional wines from Margaret River and the Great Southern.
"We have worked towards establishing Howard Park as a premium family wine company. This success will be measured by the work we do now for future generations." Jeff Burch
Our Philosophy
This founding two region philosophy aligns with Howard Park's wine making philosophy which adopts an ethos for integrating the old with the new. Howard Park embraces modern technology whilst employing traditional wine making techniques and produces internationally recognised wines of the highest quality. As a result our Riesling, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz wines are only ever produced in very small quantities, but are noted for their rare balance of elegance and power with a proven history of ageing with increased complexity and interest.
"We have a simple philosophy; premium wine can only come from excellent fruit. Simply, we go to wherever the fruit grows best." Jeff Burch
