MOUNT MARY Chardonnay, Yarra Valley 2020 Bottle
About this wine
The refined and beautiful Mount Mary Chardonnay is a precursor to the contemporary Chardonnay aesthetic. The wine possesses nectarine, pear, grapefruit aromas, lanolin nuances and fresh minerally textures, developing creaminess, richness and complexity with age. Fruit is sourced from a low-yielding vineyard, comprising a large proportion of the Mendoza clone, planted on Silurian mudstones with high clay content. The style is based on an "intentional building up of phenolic structure" of the juice. Primary fermentation takes place in 20% new French oak and 1600 litre seasoned oak casks. Although longevity is "sought out" it is never at "the expense of balance and drinkability".

ABOUT THE WINERY
Mount Mary
Mount Mary commands an almost mythical status among wine collectors. The property was first purchased by the late Dr.John Middleton in 1971. The original vineyard was planted in 1972. Dr. John Middleton always preferred subtlety and elegance in his wines. He was something of a maverick and pioneering spirit. Today Mount Mary remains in family hands. David Middleton, a zoologist and vet, shares with his father "a great love of nature and a great disdain for authority and bureaucracy". The way of doing things is unchanged, beyond a genuine desire to improve and build on past successes. Most famous for their red Cabernet blend Quintet, Mount Mary also produces a Bordeaux Blanc blend called Triolet, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. All of the wines are noted for their elegance and highly individual character.
