Description Howard Park's Margaret River SBS blend has impressed both the critics and us many times before. Sam Kim Wine Orbit gives this 2023 93pts, Jane Faulkner in The Halliday Wine Companion gives it 92pts, pointing out its excellent value and calling it "Really perky and juicy yet neatly balanced with refreshing acidity". It is as she also says "A very good drink".
Renowned for its surf breaks, Margaret River is also famous for its wine production and tourism. Margaret River wines account for just 3% of Australia’s annual wine production, but commands over 20 percent of the Australian premium wine market.
Little wonder the wines are rather pricey in nature. The region is made up of boutique wineries. The weather is maritime, with warm summers, influenced by refreshing sea breezes and strong winds and rather akin to Bordeaux.
