Description
Mount Mary’s original pinot noir vines, a mix of many clones, were sourced from Western Victoria in 1971 ââ‚?material acquired prior to the consideration of individual clonal selections. These have been supplemented by newer plantings (including MV6, 777 and 115 clones) on American rootstocks. Simple winemaking techniques, to reflect the character of vineyard site, are followed by barrel ageing in new oak barriques (25%) for 16 months. Mount Mary Pinot Noir is typified by fragrant strawberry and cherry aromas and a supple, evenly proportioned palate.
The Pinot Noir is supple and fresh with strong tannins which need more time to develop but will blossom into a magnificent example of the style.
