Mount Horrocks Wines is operated by proprietor / winemaker Stephanie Toole, who restricts production to approximately 4,500 cases per annum to achieve her aims of quality and single vineyard expression. Mount Horrocks Wines has vineyards at three sites totalling 10 hectares, in the Clare Valley.
Stephanie carefully crafts her wines, which she describes as “essentially hand made food wines with emphasis on structure as well as generous fruit flavours”. All grapes are hand picked, and only the finest French oak is used for those wines spending time in barrel.
Mount Horrocks Wines was established in 1982, purchased by Stephanie in 1993 and in April 1998, Stephanie opened for cellar door sales in the renovated Auburn Railway station. Substantial renovations and landscaping of the station and surrounding railway yards have resulted in a showpiece for Auburn and the Clare Valley.
Bright intense golden colour, with concentrated aromas of spice, ripe lemon and wildflower notes with a touch of vanilla and honey. On the palate, ripe citrus flavours come to the fore, along with those of tangerine and cumquat, lending a pleasing richness to the palate, kept in check by good acidity. Pair with lemon/lime or other fruit based desserts.
