Description

This year’s Triolet opens with its customary seashell, brine, oyster shell nuisances that have become a hallmark of this blend for a number of years now. With very little time at all in the glass, this wine leaps out with an array of aromatic complexity. Initially there are citrus notes, lemon and grapefruit, but then riper characters, more suggestive of melon, pear and dried apricot quickly become the dominant players. The palate is rich, concentrated and textured. There are flavours of lychee, ripe pear, apricot and blackcurrant leaf. The palate is defined by persistent acid, chalky phenolics and a long, persistent finish. John would often quip, ‘the best Triolet vintages are often the riper ones’ and this wine is certainly testament to that. 66% Sauvignon Blanc, 24% Semillon, 10% Muscadelle

Mount Mary

A family owned and operated vineyard, Mount Mary is the product of passionate wine enthusiasts who decided to make it a lifestyle. Having spent years travelling to Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, John and Marli Middleton purchased Mount Mary in Victoria's Yarra Valley in 1971 and planted their first vines a year later.

With son David at the helm, Mount Mary also sees Sam Middleton, a third generation winemaker continuing the family legacy. Sam has worked vintages in Australia as well as in Burgundy and Bordeaux. The experience gained in the latter two are of particular importance as the winery's portfolio is cut from the same cloth; it produces four super premium wines inspired from these regions including Quintet and Triolet, red and white Bordeaux blends respectively, as well as a Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The philosophy of the brand is simple; to grow and vinify the grapes using sustainable practices to promoting long-term health of the vines, a health that is evident through the quality of wines produced.
