95 POINTS

By Ray Jordan

A remarkable gentle and subtle shiraz from the Clare Valley. About 12 per cent was whole-bunch foot crushed. The result is a brilliantly smooth and supple wine, displaying great concentration and refinement in a compelling combination. It’s so silky and textured.  This is a classy wine.

Mount Horrocks shiraz

  • Top 100 Wines 2014 Mount Horrocks Shiraz 95 Points By Tony Love.
  • This certified organic wine brings a more subtle approach to Clare Shiraz than many others.
  • With great control of the fragrance, terrific integration and balance in the oak treatment.
  • the shiraz remains clear-headed, encouraged by brighter, crimson fruit characters, juiciness and drinkability in a medium to full-bodied structural package.  

Initially inspired by Stephanie’s love of Rhone wines, her deft handling of fruit from this unique vineyard has resulted in the most stylish of shiraz wines, accurately reflecting the cooler vineyard site yet defying the common preconception of the bolder Clare Valley Shiraz. This is a result of the gently northerly sloping low but even site.  The Alexander Vineyard sits isolated – a perfect site in the north eastern most corner of the Watervale subregion.
