Mount Mary Chardonnay 2005
A beautifully composed, complete and finely crafted chardonnay that simply needs time to flesh out and deliver on its considerable early promise. A floral, nutty perfume of peach, melon, grapefruit and guava reveals undertones of wheatmeal, vanilla, cloves and cinnamon. Silky, long and supple, its tightly crafted marriage of lingering stonefruit, grapefruit and melon-like flavour and restrained oak culminates in a taut and persistent finish of refreshing acidity.

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%.
