Mount Horrocks Watervale Clare Valley Semillon is a crisp, refreshing white wine with a bright and zippy acidity that sets it apart from other Australian Semillons. Grown on the picturesque slopes of the Clare Valley, this wine has a cutting edge, citrusy flavor that pairs perfectly with seafood, salads, and light appetizers. On the nose, it exhibits delightful aromas of lemon peel, lime blossom, and white flowers. The palate is clean and fresh, with a delicate minerality that accentuates the wine's bright acidity. Its high-quality craftsmanship makes it a standout performer in any wine cellar, and it is sure to impress even the most discerning of wine enthusiasts.

Tasting Notes

This wine is pale gold in colour with a lime-edge. Impressively light, elegant and zesty with vibrant flavours of lemon, freshly cut grass, and subtle spicy oak over a layer of restrained creamy texture. Stylish and balanced on the finish.

About the Winery

Owned by Stephanie Toole, Mount Horrocks is a wine brand that provides exclusive focus to quality. This is because the label is known for producing only a limited number of cases (4000) per year. Located in Clare Valley, South Australia, Mount Horrocks Wines are made from grapes grown over the three estate-grown vineyards that spread across 10 hectares.

If you love your wines but are sceptical about the quality of your drinks, the wines from Mount Horrocks are the best choice for you. These A-grade certified wines are designed for vegans and vegetarians as well, because only 100% natural grapes are used for making these wines.

Every year, six types of wines are made from grapes grown on the single vineyards of Alexander Vineyard or Cordon Cut Vineyard.

Alexander Vineyards – Located towards the northeast part of Clare Valley in the Watervale region, these vineyards are the home to the Riesling, Shiraz, Semillon, Cabernet Sauvignon and Nero d’Avola. These vines are planted in about 16 acres at an average height of 475m above sea level.

Cordon Cut Vineyards – Riesling is the most important vine planted here, as the warm climate and moderately low altitude of around 340m favour this type of grape. You can find these vineyards at Auburn, right next to the cellar door.

Regardless of the vineyard they are cultivated in, the grapes are full in flavour, intensity and aroma. This is because the expert winemaking team at Mount Horrocks ensures that the vines are cut late and allowed to partially dry, at all times.

The classic, no-compromise winemaking principles that Stephanie and her team put to practice here have made these wines 100% natural and organic. Some of the popular wines of this brand are those made from Riesling cultivated on Watervale & Cordon Cut, wines made from Semillon, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Nero d’Avola and the rose’ wines.
