The Mount Mary Triolet is an elegant, medium-bodied, and incredibly complex white blend from the slopes of the Yarra Valley, Victoria. Produced by winemaker Sam Middleton, this iconic release is inspired by the legendary white wines of Graves, Bordeaux, delivering a masterful combination of texture, savory depth, and stunning aging potential.
  • Aromas: Highly fragrant, exotic, and layered, bursting with Meyer lemon, white nectarine, and passionfruit, intricately woven with lemongrass, jasmine petals, wet slate, and sea spray.
  • Palate: Concentrated and deeply textural, offering flavours of pink grapefruit, gooseberry, and stone fruit, perfectly balanced by a razor-sharp line of natural acidity and a fine, pithy mineral grip.
  • Style: A world-class, ultra-premium white blend that uses an intelligent mix of varieties to trade basic fruit sweetness for an Old World savoury complexity, athletic energy, and immense restraint.
  • Winemaking: A traditional blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, and Muscadelle. Each parcel is wild-fermented separately in seasoned French oak barrels, undergoing hard pressing and regular lees stirring for 11 months to build textural depth.
  • Cellaring: Absolutely exceptional longevity; while beautifully detailed on release, its pristine acid backbone allows it to evolve into a richer, nuttier masterpiece over 10 to 15-plus years.
  • Food Pairing: Sensational with upscale seafood dishes like kingfish ceviche, salt and pepper squid, pan-seared scallops, or a delicate Vietnamese chicken salad.
An intellectual white blend that trades simple fruit for layers of pure intrigue and textured structure. It rewards you with an incredibly sophisticated mix of zesty citrus, flinty minerality, and a waxier, tongue-coating mouthfeel that keeps evolving with every swirl. It's the ultimate bottle to pull out when you want to shift gears from standard whites and pour a serious, boundary-pushing benchmark.
Halliday Wine companion (Philip Rich) : 98 points

Crushed and destemmed with 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. 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.
