2011 Howard Park Porongurup Riesling Reviews

“A blend of the best free-run juice from two of the oldest vineyards in this sub-region of WA's Great Southern area. Has a lime sherbet and lemon peel nose with a lean and tight palate. There's a good acidic zing. Try with baked balmain bugs. Wine of the Week.”

Jeff Collerson, The Daily Telegraph - 07-04-2012

“From Porongurup in the Great Southern region of Western Australia, this wine shows why the district is prized for riesling. The aroma recalls guava, lime and slatey ground with a floral overlay. Light and elegant in the mouth, it still has the intensity, firm extract and tight backbone for ageing.”

Ralph Kyte-Powell, Epicure Uncorked, The Age - 21-02-2012

“Each year the evidence increases that WA's Porongurup is one of the best regions for long-lived riesling anywhere in Australia. This pale straw-green wine is typically exceptionally fine, and both it and the track record of the region tells you greatness awaits around the corner in five+ years' time, and long thereafter.”
