Each year at the annual awards judging, a hush falls over the room as the Tasting Team gets to work tasting the final bracket for Wine of the Year. It’s the culmination of the last 12 months of work; hours upon hours spent pouring, sipping, deliberating and whittling down over 7500 wines to crown just one.

And while the process is never easy, the decision to award the 2024 Mount Mary Triolet Wine of the Year for the 2027 Companion was unanimous. As Philip Rich says, “I’ve long regarded this as not just one of the Yarra Valley’s greatest wines, but one of Australia’s greatest wines.”
