Certified biodynamically farmed and from a single vineyard. Wow stuff here. It's all about flavour, and lots of it: ginger, green apple, blackcurrants, lemon curd, green mango, brine and slate-like mineral characters. While it tightens on its rails of grapefruit acidity, there's a subtle green almond and cashew-like savouriness in play, too. Utterly delicious to drink, a wave of complex flavours and compelling texture with an inherent drinkability in tow. Stephanie Toole and co. have knocked it out of the park with this one.

Lifted mandarin, flowery talcum-powder and yeasty aromas, with traces of lavender, the palate delicate and restrained, refined and just faintly off-dry, with a clean and accessible style, although it will certainly age superbly too. 14 SEP 2023 Drink 2023–2035

The remote, isolated Mount Horrocks Watervale Riesling vineyard is in the north-eastern corner of this famous Clare Valley subregion, planted on the very edge of the highly prized red loam over limestone. This ACO (Australian Certified Organic) vineyard produces beautifully balanced organic fruit, allowing Stephanie to make her wine without acid additions or the need for fining. The Mount Horrocks Watervale Riesling is not only vegan and vegetarian friendly (as are all her wines), it also has ageing potential, while drinking beautifully now.
