DESCRIPTION
Mount Horrocks Watervale Riesling 2024 is sourced from a vineyard at an altitude of 400m, cultivated using organic and biodynamic agriculture since 2014, in the Clare Valley. The vintage was balanced: a dry start to the year, followed by rain before summer and a dry summer period, allowing for steady ripening. Hand-harvested, gently pressed, and slowly fermented in stainless steel tanks at a low temperature, without oak. It features 12.5% alcohol and 7.5 g/L of total acidity.
On the nose, dominated by yellow lemon, accompanied by white flowers, fresh ginger, and pear. On the palate, straight, taut, and crystalline, driven by a vibrant acidity that highlights the fruit while bringing freshness and energy. Ideal pairing with a scallop carpaccio with lemon or a sea bass ceviche.
REGION
Clare Valley
Australia
Clare Valley is the northernmost wine region within the Mount Lofty Ranges of South Australia. Riesling reigns supreme here. The drier styles are recognized as some of the best in the world. In fact, the very best examples are considered to provide benchmarks of quality. The wines are particularly famous for their depth of classic Riesling flavors – of exotic citrus, lime and orange blossoms, crunchy apples with a healthy dose of minerals, and crisp natural acidity. Clare Valley's red wines based on Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon are also highly regarded.
