The Riesling is one of two wines Howard Park has been making since it's began in 1986. Since then it has grown to become one of the most collected Rieslings in Australia. This museum release is the same as the original 2012 Howard Park Riesling release. Each year Howard Park holds a portion of this riesling in their warehouse in ideal conditions to demonstrate the complexity that this variety offers over time.

After 7 years in the cellar, the 2012 Howard Park Riesling has reached a stage where the exuberance of youth is beginning to yield. The bouquet’s zesty citrus aromas are embellished with notes of fresh nougat, nutmeal, meringue and preserved lemon. The tension of the palate has consented to a breadth of flavour that is rich and layered. Whilst now defined by a greater depth and complexity of flavour, the palate remains guided by a fine, linear acidity and stone - like minerality.
Drink from now - 2027+

A still very bright green-gold and with aromas of lime, quince and toast, this is travelling beautifully under screwcap. And while approachable now with its flavoursome, gently textured and very long palate, there is a fine vein of acidity running throughout the wine meaning that this will still be looking pristine 5 years from now. 1 August 2017

Light to medium yellow colour, with a lovely developed bouquet of buttered toast. There are peach, stone fruit and floral nuances, too. The palate is full in the mouth, round and soft, with almost fluffy mouth-feel, finely-textured and superbly harmonious. Yum! A great wine. 18 September 2017
