Mount Mary Triolet 2024

Mount Mary Triolet 2024

Barrel fermented and matured in barriques and puncheons, 20% new. A very bright green gold. Aromas of lemon pith and orange blossom that sit alongside subtle marine scents and a little almond kernel. Very bright in the mouth, with texture, weight and freshness in equal measure. The finish really does go on. A wine with a great track record that can be enjoyed now or cellared for a decade or more. 99 Points - Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion

The 2024 Triolet leads with notes of sweet pea and white flowers, chalk, pressed linen and crushed shells. It is all white and green in character. The palate shows piercing acidity and textural phenolics, with a concentrated core of flavour that spools out over the long finish. This is superb and most surely a long-term proposition. All the elements feel embedded in the whole here: old-oak maturation, each variety and any whole-bunch components—seamless. The flavour through the long finish is enduring and persistent, illustrating the high-class nature of this wine. 97+ Points - Erin Larkin, Robert Parkers Wine Advocate

'60% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Semillon, 10% Muscadelle. I know there’s something of a bun rush for Mount Mary Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, yet I think it’s the Bordeaux varieties that really shine at this estate, which is not, I hasten to add, a criticism of the quality of the Burgundy varieties, more just a general comment on certain consumer preferences and mores.

My initial comment runs along the lines of you don’t see too many SBS blends in this country that offer such calmness and balance as Triolet. Yes, there’s some varietal green capsicum along with flickers of green herb and fennel, and a smoky flinty note, but they’re amalgamated into the general smoothness of the wine, and add a little piquant touch rather than dominate. Almond and violet, gooseberry, guava and lime, a sappy and juicy feel to it, gentle vanilla creaminess, a quiet flinty grip, with a pink grapefruit tang on a finish of excellent length. This is a very classy wine.' 96 Points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
