Mount Horrocks Wines is operated by proprietor/winemaker Stephanie Toole, who restricts production to approximately 3,500 cases per annum in order to achieve her aims of quality and single vineyard expression.

Mount Horrocks Wines restricts production to approximately 3,500 cases per annum to achieve the highest quality single vineyard wines. All three estate-owned Clare Valley vineyards, totalling ten hectares, are ‘A certified’ by Australian Certified Organic (ACO). Stephanie carefully crafts “essentially hand-made food wines with emphasis on structure as well as generous fruit flavours”. Only estate grown grapes are used and these are hand-picked and gently handled under conditions that ensure the varietal and site-specific flavours in the resultant wine, as well as its organic status, are retained. As no finings have been found necessary the wines are all suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Only the finest French oak barriques are used for those wines spending time in barrel.

Reviews:

Mike Bennie, Halliday Wine Companion - 96 Pts

This is a stunning riesling. All the intensity and juiciness of the vintage with a chisel cut of chalkiness in texture. Straight up lime dashed with saline minerality, a crunch of green apple, some feijoa tropical notes and a clean, briny finish with licks of pink grapefruit. It hits the mark for refreshment factor and drives home the vibrancy message in tandem. Such high drinkability and complexity here.

Huon Hooke, The Real Review - 93 Pts

Pale colour; fresh aromas of citrus blossoms, especially lemon, a hint of baker's yeast, and some passionfruit emerged with time in the glass, while the palate is delicate and refined, with tension and subtlety, soft yet dry at the finale with a well-judged touch of phenolics adding to the firmness and dryness of the aftertaste, which is very refreshing, long and more-ish. A baby, which will develop well and build complexity.
