Mount Horrocks Semillon 2003
Full-on semillon whose rich, luscious flavours and textures effortlessly absorb some pretty high-class oak. Lightly grassy melon and stonefruit aromas knit tightly with creamy wheatmeal oak qualities, while the generous, tangy palate presents a deep, vibrant core or lemon/melon fruit framed by sweet oak and racy mineral acids. Plenty of cut and polish, loads of attitude.

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.
