Howard ParkAbercrombie Cab 2012
About this product
The sustainably farmed Howard Park Abercrombie Cabernet is a multi-vineyard, multi-regional blend, embracing the best of the Great Southern and Margaret River areas. Traditional techniques including open fermenters, basket pressing, and maturation in new (70%) and seasoned oak between 18 to 24 months lead to a distinctive house style typified by voluminous cassis, dark chocolate fruit, fine grained tannins and underlying savoury oak

From Great Southern and Margaret River: wild-fermented and extended post-fermentation maceration: matured in French barriques (60% new) for 20 months. This is Burch Family Wines' big dog, immensely powerful and deeply structured, blackcurrant, dried herbs and grainy tannins all competing for space and attention. Demands time, and will be very long lived.
