Stephanie Toole | Mount Horrocks Wines

About the Winemaker

Stephanie Toole runs Mount Horrocks Wines, and she’s been quietly smashing it in the Clare Valley since the early ’90s. She bought the place on a whim, learned the hard way while raising young kids, and has spent the last 30 years planting, replanting, and perfecting vineyards… always organically and biodynamically, always by hand. Her vineyards sit on rocky, challenging soils that force the vines to work for every drop of flavour, and that struggle is exactly what gives her wines their energy, minerality, and precision. She makes small, precise batches that let the fruit and the site speak for themselves... from bright, textural Semillon to age-worthy Riesling and even Nero d’Avola. Stephanie doesn’t cut corners. She’s about balance, texture, and making wines that are at heart, enjoyable… and her work shows: international awards, five-star ratings, and even a pour at Queen Elizabeth’s 80th birthday (crazy!?). But mostly, it shows in the wines themselves, which are just so very pure and thoughtful.
