Tasting notes
Exceptional white quality wine with very long aging potential. Crystal clear bright yellow with greenish hue. Strict character nose with mineral attack, stone fruit and herbs, green native fruit and lime. Tight distinctive taste with high acidity and very fine texture. Lovely with noble white fish dishes. Also good with winter stews with white meat and vegetables in cheese sauce or even with creamy fat cheeses. Decant several hours in advance to allow the wine to broaden. Serving temperature: 10°C
Wine Story
It all started in London, my first time living away from the family in New Zealand, working by day, taking in shows at the West End and seeking out fine European wine, at night. From there I turned to the blue skies of Perth, and a life revolving around wine.
Wine then became the focus of my work; managing a fine wine store which led to wine distribution and starting my own wine business.
I moved to South Australia in 1992, and within months, I purchased a tiny winery operation. Originally with real ‘cottage industry’ feel, Mount Horrocks Wines has remained tiny in production, yet bold in its approach.
Over the past 27 years I have shifted from purchasing all grapes to planting my own vineyards, becoming 100% estate grown and the entire wine production Australian Certified Organic (ACO)
And by bold, I mean it hasn’t stopped there – with my vineyards hand-tended, all fruit carefully hand-picked and winemaking hands-on, I avoid the need for wine finings, meaning the wines are also vegan and vegetarian friendly.
