Mount Horrocks Watervale Riesling

To capture refined grace in the midst of pronounced mineral definition is to encapsulate the thumbprint of a vineyard in a bottle of wine – an art form of the highest order. In this ideal, no Mount Horrocks Riesling is more profound than 2012. There is a graceful elegance to its primary floral lift, and a delicate precision to its pristine lime zest, granny smith apple and lemon blossom palate. This is Watervale terroir, preserved in all its glory. $26 at Bellevue Bottle Shop.
