Mount Horrocks Semillon 2005
A fabulously fresh and pristine young semillon whose fragrant, lightly toasty and almost perfumed scents of melon, white peach and citrus fruit reveal a light grassiness. Explosively flavoured, its long, smooth and silky palate of pristine melon and citrusy fruit is neatly tied up with a tangy finish of refreshing acidity. It finishes with a lingering core of vibrant flavour.

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.
