The vineyard is planted to 75% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Semillon and 5% Muscadelle, producing a wine of great texture, tension, and minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard \u0026amp; Region\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocated in the Yarra Valley, Victoria, the Mount Mary estate is known for its classical, age-worthy wines.
