Howard Park Wines

Résumé
Howard Park Wines are Margaret River and Great Southern wine specialists and a family-owned winery owned by the Burch family, which is responsible for such brands as Howard Park, MadFish, and Marchand & Burch. With an established winery based in Margaret River, Western Australia and vineyards in the Great Southern, the Burch family are the first Australians to gain ownership in the production of a French Burgundian Grand Cru. Margaret River (wine region) Margaret River Winery is located outside the small town of Cowaramup, the birthplace of what is now the Margaret River Wine Region. The vineyard that surrounds the winery named after the owner of Howard Park Wines father, Leston Burch Leston Vineyard is the vine-producing property and home of Howard Park Wines in Margaret River. The vineyard currently consists of about of vines including Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Carnelian varieties. The Margaret River wine region was chosen for what was at that time a highly experimental exercise through studies undertaken in 1955 by Professor Harold Olmo. In 1961 Dr John Gladstones from the University of Western Australia, published a paper in the Journal of the Australian Institute for Agricultural Science which stated in part "As far as the writer is aware, the Busselton–Margaret River region has never been seriously proposed as suitable for commercial viticulture. Nevertheless, a study of its climate shows that it definitely warrants consideration." The climate of Margaret River is more strongly maritime-influenced than any other major Australian region and has been described as similar to that of Bordeaux in a dry vintage. The region produces just three percent of total Australian grape production, although produces over 20 percent of Australia's premium wine market. Great Southern (wine region) Great Southern Winery was established in 1986 in the coastal town of Denmark. The Scotsdale Vineyard established in 1974 is located at the foothills of the Porongurup range and at 200 to 380 meters above sea level it is among the highest vineyard sites in Western Australia.
