Scotsdale

2012 Great Southern Cabernet Sauvignon

The Howard Park Scotsdale Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2012 vintage is an exceptional wine that showcases the remarkable terroir of the Great Southern region. This red wine exhibits a medium body that strikes a perfect balance between robustness and elegance. It presents lively acidity that enhances its structure, making it refreshingly vibrant on the palate. The fruit intensity is pronounced, with rich notes of blackcurrants and dark cherries, complemented by subtle undertones of spices and herbs. Tannins are notable yet well-integrated, providing a firm backbone that promises great aging potential. As a dry wine, it leaves a lasting impression, making it an ideal choice for both casual sipping and pairing with hearty dishes.

Western Australia

Fans of Aussie wine will be familiar with Western Australia's beautifully complex Bordeaux, Burgundy and Rhône varietals and blends. Lying south of Perth around the southwestern tip of the country, this relatively small area produces just five percent of Australia's wine. But when it comes to quality, Western Australia punches well above its weight. Well-known small sub-regions within Western Australia include Margaret River, Frankland River and the Blackwood Valley, where the dynamic Chardonnays, Pinot Noirs and Rieslings are distinctly European in character.
