1995 Mount Horrocks Cabernet Merlot
WATERVALE, CLARE VALLEY
SoldOut January Release Merlot
The Clare Valley has long been regarded primarily as a great white wine region, no doubt due to the success of Riesling. In recent years there has been an upsurge in the respect and status afforded to the red wine produced in the valley. Stephanie Toole at Mount Horrocks has been at the forefront of this movement and this wine is her finest red release to date......

1997 Mount Horrocks Shiraz
WATERVALE, CLARE VALLEY
SoldOut January Release Shiraz
Just a few short years ago the Clare Valley was regarded as a fine area to grow grapes, but they made white wine, most notably Riesling. The reds of the area had always been good sturdy wines but not considered exciting. Things have dramatically changed with both Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignons' regularly produced that are rated alongside the finest anywhere in the country......

1997 Mount Horrocks Cabernet Merlot
WATERVALE, CLARE VALLEY
SoldOut January Release Merlot
The Clare Valley sits nicely climatically speaking, but not geographically, between the warm areas such as the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale, and the cooler areas such as the Coonawarra. The Cabernet Sauvignon produced in these different zones is very much reflective of the climate......

1997 Mount Horrocks Unoaked Chardonnay
WATERVALE, CLARE VALLEY
SoldOut January Release Chardonnay
Stephanie Toole, proprietor/Winemaker of Mount Horrocks is always looking towards pushing the boundaries. Her "Cordon Cut" dessert style has won great acclaim wherever and whenever it has been tasted. More recently her Shiraz has turned heads. Now it is the turn for this superb wine. Last years wine was a great success and perhaps this vintage takes the wine up another notch......

1999 Mount Horrocks Dry Riesling
WATERVALE, CLARE VALLEY
SoldOut January Release Riesling
Clare Valley Riesling is probably one of Australia’s most consistent region and varietal combinations. The reds seem a little more variable, although the overall wine quality from Mt Horrocks is remarkably consistent. Not only are the Rieslings consistent they are also regarded without question as the finest examples of the variety produced in Australia. This vintage can be seen as triumphant for the Riesling......

1998 Mount Horrocks Cabernet Merlot
WATERVALE, CLARE VALLEY
SoldOut January Release Bordeaux Blends
Winemaker Stephanie Toole ensures that every aspect of her winemaking operation is directed towards producing the highest possible quality. This covers grape growing through to winery techniques. The warm and dry Clare Valley climate does the rest. The 1998 vintage was particularly successful with near perfect ripening conditions. The yields were quite low, which is great for the taste of the wine, not as good for the supply......

2000 Mount Horrocks "Cordon Cut" Riesling
WATERVALE, CLARE VALLEY
SoldOut January Release Dessert Wine
Here’s yet another winning wine from Stephanie Toole. This wine has developed into a serious cult wine. This new vintage is one of the finest so far.

WATERVALE, CLARE VALLEY
SoldOut January Release Riesling

1996 Mount Horrocks Unwooded Chardonnay
WATERVALE, CLARE VALLEY
SoldOut January Release Chardonnay
There is great controversy in Australia at the moment over the virtues of Chardonnay that has not seen either fermentation or maturation in oak barrels, despite the fact that the French in Chablis have been making "Unwooded Chardonnay" for hundreds of years. Stephanie Toole recognizes the potential to draw from Chablis' heritage, and with the right fruit is excited about the prospect of doing so......

WATERVALE, CLARE VALLEY

Stephanie Toole has made a total commitment to the production of wine to the highest possible level. It certainly shows with this wine.

The rest of the population are now starting to agree......
