Expert Review:
Huon Hooke- 92 points, Full yellow colour, bright and clear. The aromas are of lemon peel, honey, beeswax and floral riesling varietal cues with clarity and intensity. Some yeasty overtones. The palate is quite sweet and fruity, the acidity balanced and unobtrusive. Drinkability is already good, but a year or two in bottle should bring even more interest to it.
Mount Horrocks Wines restricts production to approximately 3,500 cases per annum to achieve the highest quality single vineyard wines. All three estate-owned Clare Valley vineyards, totalling ten hectares, are ‘A certified’ by Australian Certified Organic (ACO). Stephanie carefully crafts “essentially hand-made food wines with emphasis on structure as well as generous fruit flavours”. Only estate grown grapes are used and these are hand-picked and gently handled under conditions that ensure the varietal and site-specific flavours in the resultant wine, as well as its organic status, are retained. As no finings have been found necessary the wines are all suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Only the finest French oak barriques are used for those wines spending time in barrel.
