Mount Mary is listed amongst the elite of Australian wine such as Penfolds 'Grange' and Henschke 'Hill of Grace' so why does it cost $165 and the others start at $900? We asked Chief Winemaker Sam Middleton

"I wonder what would have happened if we followed their price structure"

After visiting his local wine shop Angus O'Loughlin asked Sam what his thought were when he sees Mount Mary wines marked up 100% BEFORE corkage

"We treat our mailing list like family, what people do out of that is their decision and their choice"

This episode we are lucky to have a vertical of 'Quintet' the "flagship" of the Mount Mary wines with stories being shared about each vintage and the personal and professional reason why Sam brought them into the studio:

2012 Mount Mary 'Quintet'

2014 Mount Mary 'Quintet'

2017 Mount Mary 'Quintet'

2021 Mount Mary 'Quintet'
