Mount Mary | Yarra Valley, Victoria

'The 2023 growing season began with an air of déjà vu. Much like 2022, the start of summer brought above-average rainfall in both November and December, once again challenging the critical flowering and fruit set stage of berry development. Cold, wet, and windy conditions are never ideal for flowering, often resulting in bunches with fewer berries and uneven development. Thankfully, while the conditions weren’t perfect, they weren’t as extreme as those we endured in 2022. As a result, we were able to produce a little more wine in 2023, though yields remained well below the 20-year average.
After the damp and difficult spring, the weather shifted. January and February brought warm, dry conditions offering ideal ripening for early-season varieties. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir thrived under these conditions, moving through veraison and into harvest with speed and balance. These wines are vibrant, expressive, and concentrated, thanks to a well-timed warm and dry ripening window.
By early March, the warmth retreated, replaced by cooler temperatures and intermittent rain. These milder conditions stretched the ripening timeline for our later-season Quintet varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot). Patience was essential as we waited for these grapes to inch toward full maturity. The resultant Quintet is elegantly structured, nuanced, and refined."
