Mount Mary Quintet Blend, Yarra Valley, 2018 Red Wine, 75cLBy Winebuyers

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.
