Mount Mary’s first Syrah release, and it’s a beauty.
The 2022 Reflexion Syrah marks a new chapter for Mount Mary—an estate with deep roots in Bordeaux and Burgundy tradition, now turning its hand to the northern Rhône. Sourced entirely from estate-grown fruit, this is the first straight Syrah the Yarra Valley icon has ever bottled, and it's a quietly confident debut: medium-bodied, spice-driven, and unmistakably Mount Mary.
Made with 30% whole bunch, this Syrah leans into aromatic lift and textural nuance. Expect perfume, not punch; detail, not density. The fruit is from younger vines, bottled under the Reflexion label while they mature, but what’s in the glass is no second-stringer. There’s a clarity of intent and finesse here that links it seamlessly to the rest of the Mount Mary stable.
Cellared right, it’ll stretch to 2035 and beyond. A fine match for charred lamb chops, grilled mushrooms or duck with five-spice.
