Established in the late 1990's, Howard
Vineyard owns two vineyards in the Adelaide Hills. The
Schoenthal Vineyard, consisting of 36 hectares near
Lobethal, which provides an excellent site for Sauvignon
Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. The elevation
of 440-500 metres ensures a cool autumn for the ideal
ripening of these varieties.
The Howard Vineyard of 24 hectares lies between Nairne, Littlehampton and Mt Barker. With an elevation of 360-400 metres, it provides consistent quality white wine grapes, while the slightly warmer aspect also suits Semillon, Viognier, Shiraz, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Howard Vineyard wine brand was established in 2005 and the Cellar Door opened in November 2006. Winemaking is carried out by Michael Sykes with Peter Leske and Mark Swann providing additional oenological advice.
