About This Wine

The 2017 Mount Mary Pinot Noir is a Yarra Valley Pinot Noir from Victoria, Australia.

Mount Mary Pinot Noir is sourced from vines originally brought from Western Victoria in 1971. The older Pinot blocks are a mix of many clones, with a visiting French ampelographer once suggesting there were around 30 or more clones in the original Pinot block.

For the 2017 vintage, the vines averaged 27 years of age. The fruit was hand-picked, bunch-sorted on vibrating tables, open-fermented with cultured yeast, spent 14 days on skins, and was matured in French barriques with 25-30% new oak.

About the Producer

Mount Mary Vineyards is an Australian family-owned estate in the Yarra Valley, Victoria. The Middleton family purchased the land in 1971, and the first vines were planted in 1972 on a gentle north-facing slope.
