Mount Mary is, without exaggeration, one of the most revered names in Australian wine. Established by the legendary Dr John Middleton in 1971, the estate was instrumental in reviving the Yarra Valley as a fine wine region after nearly fifty years of dormancy. Today, grandson Sam Middleton carries the torch, and Mount Mary remains a cornerstone of any serious Australian cellar — elegant, ageworthy, and utterly distinctive.
Why do we like it?
Réflexion is made entirely from estate-grown fruit, drawn from younger plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc that — in any given vintage — don't quite make the cut for the iconic Quintet blend, yet still produce wines of real charm and pedigree in their own right. Expect lifted aromatics of cherry, plum and redcurrant, with a palate that's taut, sleek and finely structured — layers of cherry and blackcurrant, subtle sweet spice, and gentle smoky nuances. Tannins are soft and beautifully integrated, giving a medium-bodied wine that's both elegant and immediately drinkable. Think of it as a glimpse into the Mount Mary style, ready to enjoy now while the Quintet slumbers in the cellar.
