Riesling

Regions

90% Mount Barker, 10% Porongurup, Great Southern

The Riesling is one of two wines Howard Park has been making since we began in 1986. Since then it has grown to become one of the most collected Rieslings in Australia. This museum release is the same as the original 2013 Howard Park Riesling release. We appreciate that it is often difficult to store & drink aged wines so each year we have held a portion of this wine in our warehouse in ideal conditions to demonstrate the complexity that this variety offers over time.

Tasting Notes

Brilliant and pale lemon yellow in colour with intense and lifted aromas of zested lemon/lime citrus and fresh pears. The palate is full of fresh citrus, nashi pear and golden delicious apple flavours that give depth and richness. Whilst defined by these rich fruit flavours, the palate is guided by a fine, citrus acidity that adds length and finish to the wine.

Product Reviews

"A riesling that retains a youthful glow and carries its age well. Mineral, lightly toasty, spring blossom, lantana, lime pith and more. The palate goes on and on and with it a rising intensity in developed riesling characters with acidity keeping things tight. This is why people get excited by aged riesling."
