Mount Horrocks Watervale Clare Valley Semillon Australia 75cl
£27.00
In stock
Mount Herricks Watervale 2022 Semillon is produced in an organic, single vineyard in Clare Valley, Australia. The wine was 100% barrel-fermented in French oak barriques, of which 40% were new, and remained on the lees to age for a further nine months. As always, the wine was bottled without fining.
Mount Horrocks Semillon demonstrates long lingering lemon and spice flavours complemented by creamy lees complexity and a touch of French oak.
In what is now often considered ‘old fashioned’ all fruit is hand-harvested – better for the vines as well as the fruit which is then delivered to the winery in a pristine state. Mount Horrocks is certified organic and biodynamic.

Grape: Sémillon
The wine is a light yellow-gold in colour, with a lime edge. On the nose, apple, lemon and lime aromas are present over spiced oak. The palate is generously flavoured with citrus and baked apple fruit and a zesty acidity that ensures the flavours linger longer. The wine is flavoursome without being heavy and is a truly distinctive wine.
The wine has a vibrant acidity and nuanced flavours that would pair well with grilled seafood, lemon-roasted chicken or goats cheese salad.
