About
Howard Park Wines (part of Burch Family Wines) draws fruit from four estate vineyards across Margaret River and the Great Southern — including the historic Abercrombie block, planted in 1975, and Mount Barrow, the highest-altitude vineyard in the region. The winery is not formally certified organic but operates by rigorous sustainability principles: only organic-approved copper and sulfur fungicides are used, seasonal sheep graze the Leston vineyard instead of herbicides, and all marc is composted on site in a closed-loop system. The Leston winery holds EntWine certification through the Winemakers Federation of Australia. At the cellar door on Miamup Road, Cowaramup, the Wine Chapel — featuring chandeliers crafted from 45-year-old vines — offers curated tastings paired with locally sourced charcuterie, open daily 10am–5pm.
