Cellartracker on tour with Vintomas day one - Canberra
Canberra Districts
Tasted Sunday, June 30, 2024 by chatters with 75 views
Introduction
We popped into a couple of wineries on the back to Sydney
Flight 1 - Mount Majura (9 Notes)
As we had had an older vintage Riesling for supper the previous evening we decided to pop in on our way to Lark Hill for an unplanned tasting
Flight 2 - Lark Hill (6 Notes)
Out of the old shed and into the new for a rather good tasting. All of the whites were served very cold. Bumped into Peter at the tasting, utterly randomly.
Closing
A good end to a lovely trip
2023 Mount Majura Riesling
Australia, New South Wales, Southern New South Wales, Canberra District
Medium minus intensity aromas of lime, lemon, a little oyster shell, touch of sulphur and green apple. Medium plus intensity acidity, tiny touch of residual sugar means that this is fresh rather than sharp, citrus and sulphur. Simple.

2022 Mount Majura Mondeuse

Red plums with black plum underpin, a little sweet spice, slightly candied notes. Juicy, fleshy, softly plummy, clean, slightly coarse tannins though this is quite a lightweight quaffer. <shrugs>

Bacon fat/struck match, muted fruit, meaty charcuterie and savoury, a little green underpin, touch of pepper. Wetly dilute, red and black fruits, drying woody tannins, touch of green herbaceousness on the palate as well. Meh.

2023 Mount Majura T.S.G.
Australia, New South Wales, Southern New South Wales, Canberra District
Jubey red fruits; strawberry, cherry, savoury spices shows a little pepper and, with time, charcuterie. Juicy tends to medium plus intensity acidity, red fruits again but with a tiny sour tang, tannins are chalky and fell mostly wood derived, a little alcohol warmth lends peppery spice to the finish. Hmm.

Dusty glass, slightly reductive . With agitation baked earth, slight iron, red cherry fruit, dusty spices. Juicy acidity, tight tannins are raspy and drying, pulling against the palate, red fruits are slightly sour. Hmm.
