The Wine:
Mount Mary aim to make a Chardonnay with great length, which reaches a balance between richness and elegance. While some techniques are borrowed from the Burgundians, there are some departures from traditional practice in response to local factors, which ensures a unique wine. The most notable of these is that their Chardonnay does not undergo malolactic fermentation, as the local climate leaves the fruit with ideal acidity when it is picked.
The Review:
Gary Walsh, The Wine Front - 95pts
"A whiff of smoke and struck match, peach, green melon, grapefruit, some lime zest, cashew and cinnamon, chamomile perfume too. It’s a fleshy wine, delivering plenty of Chardonnay flavour, fine chalk powder texture, preserved lemon, some nutty savoury oak flavours, with a bright citrus drizzled finish of excellent length and power."
