Understanding Mount Mary Vineyard, Pinot Noir, Yarra Valley, Victoria
The vineyards for Mount Mary Pinot Noir feature a range of clones of this grape, resulting in a rich and layered wine. The area is renowned for its exceptional location, microclimate and gently sloping hillsides with well-draining soils, ideal for cultivating Pinot Noir. The cool climate of the Yarra Valley contributes to the slow ripening of the grapes, allowing for the development of nuanced aromas and a delicate balance of acidity. The fruit undergoes short fermentations followed by 16 months of ageing in barrels that are 25% new oak. These stages contribute to the wine’s subtle tannin structure and add layers of complexity. The wine sees minimal fining and filtration to preserve varietal, vintage and terroir expression. Mount Mary Vineyard Pinot Noir displays red berry, cherry and earthy undertones in an elegant palate with well-integrated tannins and oak. This wine has exceptional ageing potential.
