2022 Mount Mary Vineyard Triolet Yarra Valley – Mount Mary produces premium quality table wines from a single vineyard estate in the heart of the Yarra Valley. Established in 1971, three generations of the Middleton family have dedicated themselves to wines of elegance, longevity and distinction. All their wines are made entirely from estate grown fruit and are produced and bottled on site at Mount Mary.The Triolet blend, first produced at Mount Mary in 1987, was inspired by the white wines of Graves, Bordeaux. The vineyard is planted to 75% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Semillon and 5% Muscadelle.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.Single Price: $150.00 Any Six Bottle Buy: $115.00
