Established in 1971, the estate has cultivated Pinot Noir from a diverse collection of vine material, including selections from its original plantings and more recent blocks. The 2024 growing season combined favourable flowering conditions with warm, dry weather during February and March, allowing the grapes to develop balanced ripeness and delicate aromatic complexity. Compared with the more concentrated 2023 vintage, the 2024 displays a lighter colour and body while retaining impressive flavour intensity and the estate's characteristic elegance. Fragrant notes of strawberry, rhubarb, quince paste and cherry introduce a finely detailed wine with subtle savoury undertones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit is destemmed and fermented as whole berries in open-top fermenters, with approximately 10–14 days of skin contact to develop colour, flavour and structure. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in barrel before spending approximately 16 months in French oak barriques, including 25% new oak. This measured approach preserves the purity of the fruit while introducing subtle complexity and refining the wine's distinctive tannin profile. On the palate, fresh red berries and plum are complemented by quince, delicate spice and understated umami characters, creating a harmonious balance between fruit and savoury depth. Fine, persistent tannins and refreshing acidity carry the wine through a long, graceful finish, offering immediate appeal alongside excellent potential for further development in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Delicate, fragrant and elegantly layered\u003cbr\u003eWild strawberry, red cherry, rhubarb, quince paste, dark rose, black raspberry and gentle allspice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Silky, fresh and beautifully balanced\u003cbr\u003eBright red berries, plum and cherry intertwined with savoury umami nuances, subtle spice, superfine tannins and refreshing acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long, refined and persistently aromatic\u003cbr\u003eLingering red fruit, delicate floral notes and savoury spice carried by fine tannins and elegant freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Destemmed and fermented with as many whole berries as possible. 15 months in French barriques (25% new). A medium, bright crimson. A gorgeous bouquet of red cherry, black raspberry, dark rose and allspice. This follows through onto the medium-bodied, silkily textured, fragrant and very long palate. The tannins are superfine and, as delicious as this is now, it will only become even more complex over the next six to 10 years.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion, 97+ Points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand - Mount Mary\u003cbr\u003eStyle - Red Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003eCountry - Australia\u003cbr\u003eState - Victoria\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Yarra Valley\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2024\u003cbr\u003eABV - 13.5%\u003cbr\u003eSize - 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mount Mary","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44652918669399,"sku":"MM-PN-24","price":219.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/c023639f-e941-4cae-84af-ba3b7be5197d.webp?v=1794511987","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/mount-mary-pinot-noir-2024","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
