2015 Mount Mary Réflexion Fumé Blanc

WINEMAKER: Sam Middelton
REGION: Yarra Valley, VIC
VARIETY: Sauvignon Blanc
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic

Réflexion wines are made entirely from Mount Mary estate grown fruit, primarily from the youngest plantings. The fruit grown on these vines is still developing towards the quality and consistency demanded for Mount Mary Vineyard estate wines. From time to time, depending on the vintage, the Winery will release limited quantities of red and white wines under the Réflexion label. Each bottle in Réflexion range reflects a sense of place and time.

This Fumé Blanc opens with distinctive citrus aromas. With time in the glass the aroma profile unravels to reveal peach, nectarine and guava, all tightly packed together and adding complexity to the more pronounced lemon and lime characteristics on the nose. There’s an array of flavours on the palate ranging from lime, grapefruit, melon and the faintest hint of oak. The palate is taut, fine and flinty thanks to the razor-sharp acid line, giving the wine ample precision and focus. Phenolics are present, adding texture, along with some lees-derived complexity achieved through barrel fermentation.
