Winemaking: Estate grown on our Mt Barker vineyard; Block 10. A very trying vintage resulted in low yields, but we maintained quality through careful vineyard management. Cane pruned. Picked at night to ensure cold fruit is delivered to the winery. 8 hours skin contact to improve flavour and increase texture.
Story: Located on the South Eastern tip of the Adelaide Hills at an altitude of 410m, this vineyard experiences a warmer, dryer summer that average for the Adelaide Hills, this enables us to produce a rich, medium bodied, cool climate Sauvignon Blanc. the Adelaide Hills produces the best Sauvignon Blanc in Australia.
Taste: Pineapple and fresh citrus on the nose, displaying hints of tropical white flowers and lime. The palate delivers a pop of ripe grapefruit, citrus and pineapple with a hint of Summer herbs. Lively acidity provide length and freshness to the finish.
Head winemaker Tom Northcott’s winemaking approach is to pick at optimal ripeness for lean flavours to showcase the quality and true expression of their vineyards. Howard Vineyard wines are light to medium body with vibrant flavours and great natural acidity.
