Product Description

WINERY INFORMATION

Mount Horrocks uses grapes grown exclusively on their own 10-hectare “A-grade certified” organic vineyards. Owner and winemaker Stephanie Toole carefully supervises the handcrafting of each wine to ensure that the organic status, varietal elements and site-specific flavours and characteristics of their wines are preserved. Her pursuit of excellence in winemaking has been widely recognized in Australia. In 2007, she was nominated for Gourmet Traveler WINE magazine’s Australian Winemaker of the Year award.

TASTING NOTES

Mount Horrocks Semillon strikes the perfect balance between being aromatic and oaked. It also strides the line by being more full-bodied than Riesling but lighter than Chardonnay. Take pleasure as you swirl the pale straw wine in your glass, sniff the shy but appealing apple and ripe pear aromas, and sip the vibrant and refreshing fruit flavours of apple, white peach and lemon. The vanillin oak influence renders a silky texture, leading to a complex, elegant, long and dry finish. Match this wine with seafood such as oysters, crab, clams, fish and prawns. Asian chicken and pork dishes would also be favourable pairings with this drink.
