About the Wine

The 2023 Mount Mary Chardonnay achieves an exceptional balance of power and restraint, showcasing the precision and tension that define this iconic Yarra Valley estate. It combines purity of fruit with textural depth and minerality, offering remarkable longevity and refinement.

Critic Tasting Note

“A wonderful balance of power and restraint, with complex aromas sitting on the edge of reduction — preserved lemons, lanolin, honeysuckle, struck matches, crushed stones, citrus blossoms and white stone fruits. The palate has seamless texture and weight, in harmony with a core of fruit-supported, tightly wound acidity and a mineral drive. The concentration leaves you salivating for minutes. Great nerve and tension bring this wine together. Truly excellent. Drink or hold. Screw cap.”
— James Suckling, 2023 Vintage Review
