Mount Mary Quintet 2022

Discover the artistry of one of the Yarra Valley’s most renowned estates with the Mount Mary Quintet 2022. This meticulously crafted blend showcases the expertise of a family-owned vineyard spread across 40 acres of prime terroir. The Quintet features a thoughtfully curated combination of Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Merlot (25%), Cabernet Franc (15%), Malbec (5%), and Petit Verdot (5%). Each vintage reflects seasonal nuances, with the proportions evolving based on factors like fruit set and ripeness. The ultimate expression lies in the winery’s keen decision-making around the perfect harvest time, balancing tannins, acidity, and alcohol to perfection.

In the 2022 vintage, ideal ripening conditions have brought out a deeper, more brooding flavour profile. The bouquet unfolds with subtle cherry notes, giving way to dominating blue fruits like blackcurrant, blueberry, and violet. Complexity abounds with delicate hints of wood spice and leafy freshness, creating harmony with the ripe fruit aromas.

The palate is vibrant and concentrated, delivering intense fruit flavours supported by an elegant structure of fine-grain tannins. While these tannins are currently firm, they promise to mellow with careful cellaring, rewarding those with patience. This wine exemplifies the subtle evolution of Mount Mary’s craftsmanship, with each vintage a testament to its dedication to refinement over the past decade.

An extraordinary expression of what the Yarra Valley offers when nature and expertise align.
