The wine is very pale with green hues. The aroma and palate profiles are driven very much by cool climate Sauvignon Blanc characters; grassy, herbal extending to slightly tropical notes. The Semillon provides some mid palate intensity as well as some attractive floral characters. The feature of the wine is the freshness, vitality and brightness of the palate – very clean and pure in its flavours and mouthfeel with crisp and refreshing acidity. The finish is dry and clean.
Pairing: Fish Stew, Omelets, Pasta, Soups and Creams.
Founded in the mid 80’s, it gained quick notoriety. After a considerable success in the market, Howard Park decided to transfer its production of red wine from the Great Southern to Margaret River, to take advantage of the proximity of the population of the zone. Then, the enologist... Michael Kerrigan replaced the previous John Wade. The first crop of the Cabernet Sauvignon - Merlot was 1986. It is a multiregional blend of five vineyards of Western Australia. It is a wine that needs time to be blended. The majority of the grape proceeds from Mount Barker and Porongurup, both subzonas of Great Southern, of colder climate. They are blend to fruits from plots of Margaret River and Pemberton. After making the winr separatly, the final blend is done after two years in barrels. The brand Madfish owes its name to a homonymous bay situated to 15 Km of Denmark, in Great Southern. It offers pure, fresh wines, with a good connection of fruit-alcohol-wood in which the flavor is the first objective.
