2016 Mount Mary Triolet
Mount Mary
67% Sauvignon Blanc, 23% Semillon, 10% Muscadelle. The 2016 Triolet is an extremely expressive example of this blend on release. The aromas show more stone fruit and a slightly riper flavour spectrum than perhaps other years, where citrus characters seem to dominate. There is pear, lychee, lime and a touch of apricot. The palate has generous flavour and richness with stone fruits again dominating ahead of citrus flavours. Matched to this fruit presence are characters of grilled nuts, toast and nougat, adding complexity. It’s the mouthfeel and length of flavour of this blend that sets it apart from many other examples. We continue to drink these wines dating back to ’87, such is the ageability of these varieties when blended together. – Sam Middleton

65% sauvignon blanc, 25% semillon, 10% muscadelle. Gleaming straw-green; the combination of finesse and intensity is of the highest scale, as is the purity of the fruit expression. This is the vineyard speaking, shaping a blend of sauvignon blanc and semillon (leaving the muscadelle to one side) into a wine like no other. This is all about doing less, the hardest task for a winemaker.

The Mount Mary vineyard is planted to 75% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Semillon and 5% Muscadelle, though the blend components in the wines vary from vintage to vintage. This 2016 release is 67% Sauvignon Blanc, 23% Semillon, 10% Muscadelle. This is about as accessible as Triolet gets. It’s a beautiful wine, fruit-filled but flinty, inherently stylish, upfront with its flavours but persistent plus. It has you at hello but then walks you out to your car afterwards.

Piercing wine yet shows a little pleasing weight and pronounced chewy grip around the core of athletic acidity. Licks of nougat amongst the lemon pith, young pear and white flesh stone fruit. It sits firm and full in the palate with exceptional length and presence. While refreshing, this feels serious and expressive in a more detailed way. It’s a stellar release.

This is very composed and compressed. The austerity is the hallmark of this style. It has mouthwatering acidity, which makes it very drinkable. It has texture, as well as apples, pears and a sweetly herbal edge such as basil. A chalky palate that is restrained, elegant and powerful. A blend of sauvignon blanc, semillon and muscadelle. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
