Tasting Notes

Appearance:
Pale straw with shimmering green hues — pristine, vibrant and youthful.

Aroma:
A stunning aromatic lift of lime zest, lemon blossom and white florals.
Notes of crushed slate, jasmine, mineral spice and subtle talc reflect the classic Watervale hillsides.

Palate:
Pristine, intense and beautifully driven.
Expect layers of:

• lime juice and lemon pith

• green apple and grapefruit

• delicate florals

• chalky, slate-like minerality

The acidity is electric yet perfectly balanced, giving the wine immense tension, clarity and drive.
This is classic Mount Horrocks — pure, powerful and incredibly refined.

Finish:
Long, chalky and ultra-fresh, finishing with crystalline citrus and lingering mineral length.
