Mount Mary Triolet White Blend 1996
The least understood of John Middleton’s quartet, the Triolet is faithfully based on the white Bordeaux blend of semillon, sauvignon blanc and muscadelle. One of the best releases yet, the 1996 edition is delicate in aroma but boasts remarkable intensity on the palate, with a refined, pristine expression of tropical and small berry flavours, with just a civilized hint of grassiness. Savoury, long and clean.

Mount Mary
Mount Mary is one of the Yarra Valley's iconic estates. Developed by Dr John Middleton in the late 1960s, it has always followed its own path, drawing inspiration from France and the US. Shunning higher levels of alcohol and overt oak influence are central to the Mount Mary concept of balance and quality, ideals that have been retained by grandson Sam Middleton and his team. The 2013 red releases are stellar indeed, with the Quintet revealing a little more power and structure than the wines of yesteryear, but with classical balance and style, still weighing in at under 13%.
