Mount Mary is one of the founding estates of the modern Yarra Valley renaissance, established in 1971 by Dr John Middleton, a man of exacting standards and profound vision. At a time when the Yarra was only just re-emerging as a wine region, Middleton set out to produce elegant, classical wines inspired by the great regions of France - Bordeaux, Burgundy, and the Rhone - yet deeply rooted in Australian terroir. The property, nestled in the foothills near Lilydale, was carefully chosen for its aspect, elevation, and gravelly loam soils, ideal for crafting restrained, age-worthy wines. From the beginning, Mount Mary forged its reputation on a commitment to tradition, purity, and balance. The four cornerstone wines - Quintet (a Bordeaux-style blend), Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Triolet (a white Bordeaux blend) - remain unchanged in style and unwavering in quality. The estate has always taken a hands-off approach in the winery: low yields, hand harvesting, and wild yeast fermentation. This 75cl bottle is a quintessential example of Mount Mary's dedication to producing exceptional, unisex wines.
