Clare Valley Riesling 'Watervale' 2024, Mount Horrocks Red

Clare Valley Riesling 'Watervale' 2024, Mount Horrocks RedMount Horrocks Wines, in Clare Valley, is owned by winemaker Stephanie Toole, who purchased the estate in 1993 after a career selling fine wines in Perth. They are certified organic, and now biodynamic, and make some of the purest, most elegant wines around. This is benchmark Clare Valley Riesling, razor sharp and taut and loaded with freshly squeezed lime juice and salty, slatey mineral notes. Will age wonderfully but also drinks so delicious and

the varieties working beautifully together as Sangiovese provides the acidity and fruit and Cabernet Sauvignon giving savouriness and structure

Spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel

crunchy and fresh but with flesh and weight too

fermented in tank

perfect for BBQs

Old vine Cabernet Franc from clay soils

Ribolla Gialla

crystalline citrus fruits here and a chalky texture - awesome wine

and malolactic fermentation in old barrel

this is drinking beautifully but will hold for some time

plummy and spicy

Wonderful Champagne
