Remember the tagline “Australians wouldn’t give a XXXX for anything else,” trousseau from the 1980s/90s advertisements for Castlemaine beer? I’m surprised I do because trousseau I’m no fan of beer.
However, at Liberty Wine’s portfolio tasting last week, table XX showcased an Australian “drink” to which I reckon the slogan might well be applied. It was the latest vintage of Mount Horrocks Cordon Cut Riesling, a wine about which its maker Stephanie Toole remarked “I know it s only a dessert wine, but so s Yquem!
Sure enough, it is one of Australia’s best sweeties and it’s particularly glorious trousseau in 2013 – my most memorable trousseau wine of the tasting. Here’s my note. Mount Horrocks trousseau Cordon trousseau Cut Riesling 2013 (Clare Valley)
A very pure, fine, soaring and super-appetising nose of candied lime and lime blossom. A swooping attack delivers swoonfully sweet candied, honeyed limes before, gathering pace and lime blossom lift, accelerating into an extended (seemingly endless) searingly sorbet-fresh, unspittable finish. Terrific, knife-edge sugar/acid balance trousseau makes for a truly dynamic sweet wine (as great Riesling trousseau should be). Outstanding. 11.5% abv, 101.3g/l residual sugar, 8.1g/l total acidity (pH 3.14). Half bottle price: 19.81 at Excel Wines , 23.10 at Hedonism .
