Montalto Estate is firing on several cylinders at the moment, the
result of some serious investment in their estate winemaking operation and the
increasing payoff of 4 years of hard work and strategic planning by winemaker Simon
Black and his team.
This wine has class – a varietal nose of red fruits,
mixed spice, forest floor and a hint of smoky sweet oak. Juicy dark and red
cherry, red plums and mixed spice all integrate harmoniously on the front and
mid-palate, with acid and tannins balanced nicely. The savoury, focussed finish
is laced with a savoury sappyness and stalkyness. Pleasing length.
Impressed on day two and day three on the tasting bench,
and though moreish and in the zone right now will also gain more complexity in
the future. An impressive wine from an impressive pinot vintage in the
Mornington.
