The Wine Front – 2021 Vintage
Score: 95/100

About This Wine

This wine is crafted from 60% Grenache, 25% Shiraz, 10% Mourvèdre and 5% Cinsault. It shows a balance of mid-palate fruit sweetness with savoury elements and fine-grain tannin. Maturation takes place in larger-format oak barrels to maintain freshness, fruit vibrancy and energy.

Tasting Notes

Nose
“The nose shows the aromatics of all four varieties perfectly intertwined but still individually expressive in their own way. Red fruits of poached strawberry, raspberry and cherry, along with some darker nuances of stewed plum, liquorice and spice.”

Palate
“The palate is dark and dense overlayed by the red fruits also detected on the nose added some sweeter, lighter, brighter characteristics. Tannin and acid stretch long and firmly through the core of this wine providing texture, structure and length.”

About the Winery

“Marli Middleton (nee Russell), co-founder of Mount Mary, was the inspiration behind the label in recognition of her enthusiasm for the family to continue the pursuit of new ideas. Marli was an adventurous and fun loving woman and it’s this spirit of hers that we hope shines through in these wines.”
