Description

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.  All three estate-owned Clare Valley vineyards, totalling ten hectares, are ‘A certified’ by Australian Certified Organic (ACO).  James Halliday says “Stephanie Toole has never deviated from the pursuit of excellence in the vineyard and winery. She has three vineyard sites in the Clare Valley, each managed using natural farming and organic practices. The attention to detail and refusal to cut corners is obvious in all her wines. 5 Red Star Winery”  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.

This couldn’t be more straightforward; harvest red grapes when they have crisp fresh flavours (but not under-ripe) and extract the juice with just a touch of colour; the faintly pink hue indicating fresh flavours of a young white wine with an extra dimension of red hues and a hint of red berry flavours.  Perfect for drinking now, this is the epitome of this increasingly popular dry style of Rose.

“My favourite afternoon tea wine” jokes Stephanie as she enjoys a glass whilst preparing chilli prawns and mussels provencale.

Inspired by flinty dry French rosés, this is eminently drinkable and very satisfying. Delicate, vibrant pink. Enticing summer red berries – think strawberry and cranberry within a crisp citrus framework that delivers a refreshing, appealing, light but flavoursome rosé of great character and depth. Delicious now.
