Description

Highly sought after and highly revered, the Quintet is one of Australia's greatest Cabernet blends. Always a limited release, particularly in a small vintage like 2022.

The perfectly ripe fruit for this wine was masterfully guided to bottle by young family winemaker, Sam Middleton.

A thing of real beauty. A thing of class. A wine for the cellar to be marveled at for decades to come.

Our vineyard is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Merlot (25%), Cabernet Franc (15%), Malbec (5%) and Petit Verdot (5%). The percentage of each variety that goes into the final blend changes with the season as factors such as fruitfulness and fruit set vary. The greatest influence we have over the quality of this wine is deciding when to pick each variety. This determines not only the flavours but the quality of tannins, the acid and alcohol levels. These varieties ferment on skins for around 12-14 days. This is followed by 22 months of barrel maturation, with 25% of the blend in large format oak (1500L or larger), and 30% in new barriques (225L). The remaining wine is matured in 2–5-year-old barriques. Minimal fining and filtration are carried out prior to bottling.

Best Cabernet Blend of the Year

Saturates the palate without being remotely heavy. The tannins are muscular, very persistent and in perfect harmony with the fruit. A magnificent wine that will provide enormous enjoyment over the next two decades.

Cherry and chocolate, blueberries, violets, tobacco, pencils, baking spice, a light mint perfume... Superb. Such energy and class. There’s something about (Mount) Mary.
