Average Critic Score: 96.5/100 based on 2 critic reviews
Few Australian Chardonnays combine concentration and delicacy as convincingly as Mount Mary's, and the 2024 Mount Mary Chardonnay is a fine example from a warmer Yarra Valley season. Barrel fermented and matured in French puncheons and barriques, it is tight and restrained, with white peach, grilled nuts, flint and oyster shell leading to a finely tuned palate of real length and precision. Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion) rated it 97 points and judged it built to age superbly, while Gary Walsh (The Wine Front) gave it 96 points and called it outstanding.
White peach, lemon and lime, cashew, a little biscuit spice and aniseed, with a fair amount of struck match... a distinct flinty grip with fine acidity threaded so neatly through the wine, a layer of cashew richness, and a bright and gently saline finish of excellent length and precision... Outstanding. - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front (96 pts)
A Chardonnay to enjoy now with a little air, or cellar for added richness and complexity.
Critic Reviews
97 Points - Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion
“Matured in French puncheons and barriques (30% new) for 11 months. Offered under both screw cap and diam. Tasted under screw cap. A bright green gold. Complex and restrained with aromas of white peach, grilled nuts, flint and subtle oyster shell. The palate is finely tuned and, while there's that typical Mount Mary concentration, it also has a delicacy that makes this appealing. Built to age superbly.”
96 Points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
“It may have been a warmer year in the Yarra, yet this is a very tight and fine wine. About 30% new oak. White peach, lemon and lime, cashew, a little biscuit spice and aniseed, with a fair amount of struck match, though it's not overt or too dominating, just noted. It's juicy, but also quite savoury, a distinct flinty grip with fine acidity threaded so neatly through the wine, a layer of cashew richness, and a bright and gently saline finish of excellent length and precision, a slight preserved lemon thing carries in the aftertaste. Outstanding.”
