The Howard Park Leston wines carry the Howard Park label and therefore are sourced from only the highest regarded vineyards and are given extraordinary attention in the vineyard. Canopy management is designed to maximise fruit exposure to the sunlight, critical in 2006, and yields are low to achieve concentration in the grapes.

Its bouquet is intense and led by blackcurrant and berry fruits with some cool year undertones of tomato leaf and dried sage.

Very youthful and tight, the 2006 still has ample curranty fruit, mid-palate power and elegance with well integrated cedar/mocha oak and long, firm but fine textured tannins. A wine that will reward cellaring for the next 5-8 years, developing more cassis and earthy/leathery complexity.

Dark red colour.
