Mount Horrocks Riesling 2004
Wonderfully restrained and elegant wine made along similar lines to the best of the Penfolds Reserve Eden Valley Rieslings. Slightly herbal and spicy undertones pervade its slatey rose petal-like fragrance. Almost Alsatian in style, its palate begins with sumptuously intense fruit that becomes fleshy and round in the middle, before a long, fine and supple finish of superb shape, dryness and sheer tanginess of fruit. Startlingly different.

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.
