Howard Park has furthered its footprint in Western Australia by acquiring Forest View vineyard through its long-term partnership with the Radomiljac family who produce Pemberley of Pemberton wines. The purchase of the 48-hectare site gives Howard Park another superb quality fruit resource for its Jeté sparkling wine range, and other wines across the Burch family’s portfolio.
The first-ever Pre-Vintage Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony welcomed newcomers and celebrated the start of the harvest, presented by the Margaret River Wine Association (MRWA) and Margaret River Busselton Tourism Association (MRBTA).
The story of Abercrombie is interwoven into the very history of Howard Park Wines itself. Join us as we reveal the journey of this wine, from an experimental planting in 1975 in the nascent Great Southern region, to its status today as an iconic, multi-regional West Australian Cabernet Sauvignon.
We are honoured to announce that Howard Park’s Abercrombie Cabernet Sauvignon has been awarded Three Merits in The Real Review’s Wine Classification of Australia.
