Mount Horrocks Cordon Cut Riesling 1996
Made from late-harvest riesling grapes made even further concentrated by assisting grapes to dehydrate even faster than nature intended, this is a fragrant and honeyed dessert white with intense flavours of apricots, pears and mango. Although the palate is sweet and concentrated, the citrusy finish tends towards the spirity.

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.
