Mario Marson left a long and distinguished incumbency with Dr John Middleton at Mount Mary before heading to Heathcote to develop his own vineyard. One of the dictums he picked up from Middleton was to focus on multi-clonal vineyards, something that was reinforced to him while spending time in Italy, especially with Paolo di Marchi at Isole e Olena. His three red wines have followed suit, and the results are already very impressive, in a savoury, Old World fashion.
