2024 Mount Horrocks Semillon
Even most Hunter Valley winemakers admit it takes a good deal of confidence to sell semillon. But Stephanie Toole makes it in Clare, where semillon is not even the best white in the region. It may be an ever decreasing field, but that field could multiply 100 times and Toole would still hold the crown. This is a wine of wax and pith, green apple, snow pea and flint. The discreet caress of oak. One of Australia’s best.
