Overview
Fruit for the 2012 Scotsdale Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from our flagship Abercrombie vineyard in Mount Barker.
This iconic vineyard has been a fruit source for the very best of our Cabernet based wines since the inception of Howard Park in 1986. Fully mature vines approaching 40 years of age are perfectly attuned to their site and provide a special resource of this noble grape variety which we consider ourselves fortunate to have at our disposal. Low, balanced yields from these old vines ensure that the finished wines express concentrated fruit purity typical of the best Cabernet Sauvignon.

Winery Profile
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
