Mount Mary Quintet 2023

Description

Product Description:A quiet benchmark for Australian Cabernet elegance. Mount Mary Quintet 2023 reflects a cool Yarra Valley season with clarity and finesse. The blend—Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec—shows poise rather than power, guided by the Middleton family’s unwavering pursuit of balance. After 22 months in French oak, with a restrained proportion of new barrels, the wine presents lifted aromatics, fine structure and an assured sense of place. The 2023 vintage followed a cooler pattern, producing fruit of purity and tension. Each component contributes to the blend’s layered complexity: Cabernet for drive, Merlot for plushness, Franc for fragrance, and the smaller varieties for shape and detail. Quintet remains a defining expression of the Yarra Valley’s modern refinement—built to evolve for decades yet compelling in its youth.
