Spring / Summer Newsletter 2025

MOUNT HORROCKS SPRING RELEASE

We are excited to announce the release of MOUNT HORROCKS WATERVALE RIESLING 2025 and MOUNT HORROCKS ROSÉ 2025.  

The 2025 vintage contrasted sharply with 2024: arid conditions and elevated early temperatures created the earliest harvest in 34 years of winemaking. These unprecedented growing conditions proved ideal for our biodynamic approach, reinforcing our fundamental belief: exceptional fruit quality ultimately determines wine potential. 

Available for immediate delivery, we believe these wines are drinking beautifully. 

The Mount Horrocks Team 

Stephanie Toole has been owner/winemaker since 1993, her vineyards at the highest elevation (490m) in Watervale. In 2000, she personally selected and planted all vineyard sites, carefully matching classic Clare Valley varieties—Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, and Semillon—to the unique soil and rock conditions across her ten-hectare estate, while boldly introducing Nero d’Avola to the region. Today, Mount Horrocks wines are 100% estate-grown, giving Stephanie complete control over quality from vine to bottle. 

Mount Horrocks represents everything great about the Clare Valley – family-owned, organic/biodynamic, limited production, and wines that tell a story that will be remembered. 

2024 MOUNT HORROCKS WATERVALE RIESLING

A worthy successor to the standout 2024 vintage, built for the long haul. Classic aromas of lemon rind and crushed talc. The palate is driven by mineral purity and fine slate-like texture. Remarkable energy and depth, delivering concentration and length without austerity. Now to 2040.
