Howard Park Jeté Grand Vintage 2019

74% Chardonnay and 26% Pinot Noir from the distinguished Mount Barrow vineyard within the Mount Barker subregion of the Great Southern. 52 months on lees and the addition of reserve wines and made in an extra brut style. Yellow sapphire hues in the glass the wine opens with glace ginger, peach melba and drizzles of honey on buttered toast. Some hazelnut skin, cashew cream and a core of pineapple. There are added dimensions of crème brûlée torched bitters and flavour length for days. This walks the line between decadence and succulence, a small sip and you are left, still tasting it, moment after but equally blink and the bottle is empty. A worthy contender for fried chicken buckets or a perfect piece of grilled miso cod.
