The Mount Mary Chardonnay is an elegant, highly focused, and iconic cool-climate white wine from the slopes of the Yarra Valley, Victoria. Produced by winemaker Sam Middleton, this flagship release walks the tightrope between Old World complexity and pristine, laser-sharp fruit purity.
- Aromas: Refined and complex, bursting with white nectarine, fresh lime, and honeysuckle, layered with struck-match flint, toasted cashew, and delicate brioche.
- Palate: Intense and beautifully weighted, delivering driving citrus blossom and white peach flavours framed by a precise line of saline mineral crunch and a long, chalky finish.
- Style: A world-class, ultra-premium Chardonnay that trades heavy, over-oaked weight for length and precision, marrying structural power with immense cool-climate elegance.
- Winemaking: Barrel-fermented and matured for 11 months in French oak with regular lees stirring. Crucially, malolactic fermentation is blocked to preserve the grape's piercing, natural line of crisp acidity.
- Cellaring: While mesmerizing on release, its impeccable balance and taut, drive-focused spine allow it to cellar and evolve spectacularly over 10 to 15-plus years.
- Food Pairing: An incredible match for luxurious dishes, pairing beautifully with butter-poached lobster tails, pan-seared scallops, roast chicken with garlic butter, or creamy truffle risottos.
This is a phenomenal, top-tier Chardonnay that strikes the perfect balance between pure luxury and crisp precision. It gives you all that comforting hazelnut and rich peach flavor you want, but stays brilliantly lively thanks to its vibrant Yarra Valley acidity. It's an absolute showstopper to pour for any special occasion.
Mount Mary
Mount Mary is one of Australia's iconic, family owned single vineyard estates, located in the heart of the Yarra Valley, Victoria.
Established in 1971, three generations of the Middleton family have dedicated themselves to producing limited quantities of premium wines of elegance, longevity and distinction. Mount Mary remains truly family owned and operated.
All of Mount Mary's wines are made from estate grown fruit and are produced and bottled on site. Being entirely self-contained across every part of the process — from vine to bottle — has been central to Mount Mary since day one, and will remain so for generations to come.
