Mount Horrocks Semillon 2024 12.5% 750ml

TASTING NOTES

APPEARANCE

Light, bright yellow-gold colour.

AROMA

Appealing granny smith apple, lemon, subtle grassy aromas with spice notes and restrained oak.

PALATE

It’s generously flavoured yet crisp and refreshing, with supple, vibrant fruit and lovely texture and mouthfeel enhanced through barrel fermentation and maturation.

REGION NOTES

The Mount Horrocks Semillon Vineyard is on distinctly weaker, rocky soil. The vines struggle even in a ‘normal’ season. According to Stephanie, semillon vines need to be challenged if a wine with depth of flavour (as is the case here) is to be achieved.

CELLARING POTENTIAL

Delicious now but has the depth and structure to age for at least a decade.

VINIFICATION

Mount Horrocks Semillon demonstrates long lingering lemon and spice flavours complemented by creamy lees complexity and a touch of French oak.
