According to Matthew Jukes, this Mount Horrocks Cordon Cut
Riesling is Australia's most famous Riesling. Certainly the above example won
the Trophy Australian Sweet Rieslings in last year's International Wine
Challenge as well as the Regional Trophy for Australian Sweet over GBP10 in
last year's Decanter World Wine Awards. Made from some of the oldest wines on
the Mount Horrocks estate (planted in 1993), the wine gets its intense
sweetness from the cordon cut method (see previous blog), but for this vintage
the estate website informs us that there was a touch of botrytis on the grapes
(a first for cordon cut). I found this wine in a small shop near my hospital. I
must say I was surprised to find it there. I shall look forward to tasting it.
