2024 Sweet Riesling, Clare Valley, South Australia

Description
Stephanie’s labour of love, this is the ultimate in reliance on weather to concentrate riesling grapes on the vine.
An excellent season with some hot weather to close was perfect for Cordon Cut. This is a thoroughly engaging wine from start to finish. Fresh, vibrant, luscious lemon and lime juice, with ginger and spice notes. Bright, long acidity keeps it lively, not unctuous and leaves one craving another sip. Quite irresistible. Now to 2035 or more.
Awards and Accolades
Halliday Wine Companion - Mike Bennie
This classic sweet wine of Mount Horrocks is powerful, deeply scented and flavoured. Lots of creme brûlée, toffee apple, sugared almonds, mandarin marmalade and cumquat freshness. A bit of truffle and white mushroom in there, too. Layers and slickness in texture, though the finish finds a brightness underlying. Decadent, but very well balanced. Top notch.
