2022 CORDON CUT, Mt Horrocks. Clare Valley, Australia (Half Bottle)

Bin:  909

Alcohol percentage:  11.5%

Area:

Clare Valley, a relatively cool area home to thrilling dry riesling (the best in the new world), some fresh reds and this lively sweet white.

Grape variety:

100% Riesling, the vine cane ‘cut’ when mature, allowing a natural drying process in the open air.

Producer:

Stephanie Toole has run Mt Horrocks since 1993. She has just 10 hectares, all produced to exacting standards in both the vineyard and winery. The perfect example of the over-used term “hand-made”.

Old Bridge rating:

Sweet but not heavy (around 160 grammes of sugar per litre) with thrilling freshness beneath. This is outstanding in a lighter style.

Press review:

Gold or Silver Medal for the many years in the Decanter World Wine Awards.
16.5 points, www.JancisRobinson.com – “Marmalade, lime pickles, very attractive pure floral character, thick viscosity offset by fine acidic finish. Luscious, indulgent, delicious.”
94/100 from Andy Howard MW in Decanter Magazine – “The wine shows remarkable purity and elegance. Still very youthful, the concentrated apricot-dominated palate also has pear and cinnamon notes. A touch of botrytis added further complexity” – 94/100.
