Marli Russell by Mount Mary RP2 2024

Set in the heart of the Yarra Valley, Mount Mary is a family owned estate crafting finessed wines across 40 acres of vines. The single vineyard estate is now run by Sam & Claire Middleton who works diligently in the vines as his father, David, and grandfather, John, once did. The RP2 blend includes all four red varieties from their Marli Russell plantings being Grenache, Shiraz, Mourvedre and Cinsault.

The cooler, dryer vintage resulted in a focused refreshing quality, with primary fruit that is vivid and expressive. A beautifully composed Southern Rhône-inspired blend that rewards both early enjoyment and patient cellaring over the next five to ten years. This year's rendition of the RP2 blend comprises 70% Grenache, 30% Shiraz.
