Mount Mary Triolet 2022

Mount Mary Triolet 2022

20% whole bunches in the press. Barrel fermented and matured for 11 months in seasoned barriques; 400 dozen. A full, bright green gold. Aromas of Meyer lemon, orchard fruits, a little marjoram and a subtle lanolin note. A little richer on the palate than the equally good ‘21. Chalky textured, wonderfully balanced and long. A unique and beautiful Australian wine that’s approachable now but with the backbone and structure to age superbly too. 98 Points - Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion

This is a riper expression of Triolet, and has quite some weight and gloss, though it has a core of bright zesty acidity through it to balance. Some brine, grapefruit and lemon zest, pear and guava, a little honey and ginger perfume, along with dried herbs and mint/fennel. It’s creamy and viscous, has some chalkiness and grip to texture, a quinine bite, and grapefruity acidity on a finish of excellent length. It’s complex and engaging, and of course, these wines almost demand time in the cellar to show their best, though perhaps this release may not be one for the ages. 95 Points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
