Coming Soon - 2023 Mount Mary Triolet

First made in 1987, the Triolet brings a touch of Bordeaux's white wine tradition to the Yarra Valley. It combines 65% Sauvignon Blanc, 25% Semillon and 10% Muscadelle; each variety contributing its own texture and aromatic character. The components are picked and fermented separately, mostly in older oak, then matured on lees for close to a year to build depth and detail. The 2023 release offers the poise and quiet individuality that define Mount Mary's approach to white winemaking.

Other Reviews....
An outstanding release, perhaps the best I’ve tasted in the last two decades, showing concentrated flavor and a pithy character with tension, drive and a distinctive Pessac-like mineral core. Aromas of lemon confit, Asian pears, oats, beeswax, lanolin, flint, mandarin blossoms, grapefruit, biscuits, crushed stones and honeysuckle. The palate is fine and textural, with racy acidity wrapped around a weighted, seamlessly integrated mouthfeel, layered with minerals over a citric finish. Truly exceptional and unique and arguably the finest interpretation of Bordeaux blanc in this region. 65% sauvignon blanc, 23% semillon and 12 percent muscadelle. Drink or hold. It will age for decades. Screw cap.

The 2023 Triolet leads with exotic spices and white flowers, and the oak on the nose is evident but highly attractive. The palate leads with a concentrated attack of intense fruit and acidity, courtesy of the cooler vintage that was 2023. This is a wine that ages tremendously well, and one feels almost sad to open it at this time, given the layered complexity that develops over time. For what it's worth, this is a sensational release of the Triolet, one that is tighter and edgier on the acidity front that I can recall in recent times. This is a magnificent wine. The Triolet is composed of a blend of Sauvignon Blanc (65%), Semillon (25%) and the balance Muscadelle. The fruit is estate grown, crushed and mostly destemmed, with 20% whole bunches. The wine was fermented and matured for 11 months in seasoned barriques. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2025-2038.

65/25/10% sauvignon blanc/semillon/muscadelle. Crushed and destemmed with 20% whole bunches in the press. Barrel fermented and matured for 11 months in seasoned barriques. Brightly coloured. Intense aromas of confit lemon, quince, oyster shell and white flowers. Even at this early stage, there's a real sense of harmony on the chalky, saline, structured and very long palate. If you have never tasted this wine, you are missing out on what I have long regarded as one of the Yarra Valley's, and indeed Australia's, finest white wines. Drink 2025-2032.

Triolet, you’d have to say this is something of a MM signature wine. There’s not many SBS that add a little Muscadelle to give it that bit of extra perfume. These wines age very well.
Pie apple, grapefruit, quince, a little passionfruit and lime, a bit floral, a touch of cedar and cinnamon. There’s some lively tang, but also a silky feel through the wine, all calm and composed, chamomile perfume, a grainy feel to texture, salted pistachio, with a zesty citrus rind finish of excellent length. There’s pink grapefruit with a sweet green capsicum flavour to close. Very nice. Very specific. Yum, in short. Drink 2025 - 2035+.
