2008 Mount Mary Pinot Noir 750ml

Mount Mary is a legendary Australian winery and a crown jewel of the Yarra Valley. Their Pinot Noir exemplifies the region's finest, renowned for its rare finesse and purity. Typically medium-bodied, it offers fragrant aromas of cherry and strawberry, a vibrant, succulent palate, and extraordinary length. With limited production, this wine is a true treasure.   "A super-elegant wine in the heartland of Mount Mary Pinot Noir; the bouquet is fragrant with perfumed red fruits, and the silky palate is enhanced by well-judged savoury complexity, giving exceptional length." – James Halliday   The estate's Pinot Noir vines were planted in 1971, sourced from Western Victoria. The original Pinot block boasts over 30 clones, with newer plantings refined from these selections. In the winery, a minimalist approach is key, featuring short fermentations (8-10 days) and 16 months of barrel maturation in 25% new oak barriques.  Winery: Mount Mary Vineyards Varietal(s): Pinot Noir Size: 750mL Country: Australia State: Victoria Region: Yarra Valley Vintage: 2008 Alc/Vol: 13.5% Closure Type: Cork Drinking Window: 2010-2020
