Clare Valley Riesling 'Cordon Cut' 2024, Mount Horrocks (Half Bottle)

Mount Horrocks Wines, in Clare Valley, is owned by winemaker Stephanie Toole, who purchased the estate in 1993 after a career selling fine wines in Perth. They are certified organic, and now biodynamic, and make some of the purest, most elegant wines around. 'Cordon Cut' refers to a complex, highly risky process requiring both skill and experience, which involves cutting the vine canes when the grapes are ripe, allowing the remaining fruit to concentrate and raisin naturally on the vine. It's a beautifully luscious, sweet Riesling, framed by searing lime juice acidity and a lovely delicate floral note.
