hree generations of the Middleton family have dedicated themselves to wines of elegance, longevity and distinction. All wines are made entirely from estate grown fruit and are produced and bottled on site at Mount Mary.
Mount Mary has established a dedicated clientele of private mailing list customers and has become grown to become one of Australia’s greatest wineries.

Artfully made, pliant and silky, this long and finely textured red has a deep, alluring perfume of violets, cassis, sweet red red berries and blackberries knit with fresh, tight-grained dusty oak and backed by suggestions of briar and dark chocolate. It’s slightly confiture-like, with a hint of currant, sour cherry and dried herbs beneath its elegant, finely crafted palate of vibrant dark plum and small berry flavour. Very good indeed, but perhaps an earlier-maturing release from this faster-ripening season.
