Mount Horrocks Riesling 2006

A slatey, bone-dry and austere young riesling whose limey, mineral and floral, honeysuckle-like aromas precede a long, fine and tightly sculpted palate. There’s plenty of juicy lime and lemon flavour over a finely textured backbone. Long and refreshing, it’s likely to age very well.

Winery

Mount Horrocks
Mount Horrocks is a long-established small Clare Valley producer whose range includes a delightfully fresh and faintly smoky barrel-fermented Semillon and the popular regional dessert wine benchmark of Cordon Cut Riesling. While its shapely Riesling is typical of the region, the Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon each delivered finely crafted wines from the 2013 vintage.
