Growing in old and degraded soils of low fertility, Riesling works hard. It is demanding, sensitive, yet tough enough to thrive in the vagaries of this cool climate. Wines made of Riesling grapes are exceptionally revealing and critical of the environment in which they grow and the human interactions engaged to create them. From its beginnings in 1986, Howard Park has made Riesling from the Great Southern wine region of Western Australia. Riesling from this region produces a fine and linear wine with great varietal purity and exactness.
