A quiet benchmark for Australian Cabernet elegance. Mount Mary Quintet 2023 reflects a cool Yarra Valley season with clarity and finesse. The blend—Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec—shows poise rather than power, guided by the Middleton family’s unwavering pursuit of balance. After 22 months in French oak, with a restrained proportion of new barrels, the wine presents lifted aromatics, fine structure and an assured sense of place.
The 2023 vintage followed a cooler pattern, producing fruit of purity and tension. Each component contributes to the blend’s layered complexity: Cabernet for drive, Merlot for plushness, Franc for fragrance, and the smaller varieties for shape and detail. Quintet remains a defining expression of the Yarra Valley’s modern refinement—built to evolve for decades yet compelling in its youth.

Mount Mary Wines was founded by John and Marli Middleton in 1971, driven by a passion for producing fine, elegant wines that reflect the best qualities of French varietals. Having been inspired by their travels to Bordeaux and Burgundy in the 1960s, they sought to bring the same level of refinement and low-alcohol elegance to Australian wines. John Middleton, particularly motivated by a desire to craft a distinctive, refined Australian Cabernet, found the perfect site in the Yarra Valley for their dream project. Their vision led to the establishment of one of the most iconic wineries in the region, with Mount Mary continuing to be a family-owned estate that upholds a commitment to excellence. Today, the winery remains dedicated to producing handcrafted wines made from estate-grown fruit, ensuring full control over the quality and character of each bottle.
Nestled in the heart of the Yarra Valley, the Mount Mary estate spans 40 acres and boasts a diverse range of soil types, from clay-rich loams to gravelly, ironstone soils. The vineyard is planted with 18 varieties, with an emphasis on classic Bordeaux and Burgundy varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay. The region’s cool climate and unique terroir contribute to the slow, even ripening of the grapes, creating wines with exceptional balance and complexity. While not certified organic or biodynamic, Mount Mary’s vineyard philosophy emphasises sustainability and environmental stewardship. Practices such as minimal machinery use, composting, mulching, and cover cropping are employed to improve soil health, increase biodiversity, and reduce chemical use. By focusing on long-term sustainability, Mount Mary aims to produce wines that reflect the true character of the land while preserving it for future generations. The vineyard’s commitment to quality is evident in every bottle, ensuring that the wines consistently express the unique Yarra Valley terroir.
