The palate is dry and savoury, with some astringency. The finish is very dry and long. A savoury wine with some tertiary characters. Full of interest. The palate is seamless. Very good.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — Jeremy Oliver · 2013 Vintage · Tasted: Jan 2014 · Drinking Window: 2018–2021\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — CellarTracker · 2013 Vintage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout This Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Triolet blend was first produced at Mount Mary in 1987 and was inspired by the white wines of Graves, Bordeaux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard is planted to 75% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Semillon and 5% Muscadelle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach variety is harvested at optimum ripeness and fermented separately. Sauvignon Blanc is picked after the strong herbaceous flavours have disappeared, Semillon when the acid is not too harsh, and Muscadelle when the flavour intensity peaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine is fermented entirely in barrel, primarily in older barrels. Relatively firm pressing is employed to give the wine texture and lees stirring is carried out to add complexity and body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Triolet is typically barrel aged for 11 months by which time the overt fruity flavours have diminished and complex aromas are beginning to develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout the Producer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMount Mary was one of the foremost pioneers of the Yarra Valley after 50 years without viticultural activity.
