Mount Mary Triolet 2018

The Mount Mary Triolet 2018 is an extremely expressive example of this blend on release. Each variety in this blend is picked at the optimum ripeness and then fermented separately.The Sauvignon Blanc is picked after the strong herbaceous flavours have disappeared, the Semillon so the acid isn’t too hard, and the Muscadelle when the intense flavour is peaked. They used mostly older barrels for this drop, with the entire production being barrel fermented. It’s a charming, ripe and glossy vintage of Triolet, so smooth and flavoursome, but still has grip and juicy acidity. Lime and lemon curd, some spice and lemongrass, crunch of green apple acidity, a subtle hay/grassy element in there too. Finish is long, floral/vanilla scented, and silky, with a cinch of quinine-like bitterness adding refreshment. White Bordeaux blends don’t come much better than this. – Gary Walsh, Wine Front, 96 points The Finer Details Style – White Wine Varietal – Sauvignon Blanc 68%, Semillon 24%, Muscadelle 4% Country – Australia Region – Yarra Valley, Victoria Vintage – 2018 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 13%
