Good depth and hue; the complex flavours and texture are the product of the warmest Montalto site. Cherry and plum each claim to be the leader, and they aren’t easy to split. This has more body than its siblings.

“A highly aromatic wine displaying immense complexity. Blackberry and kirsch notes combine with graphite, cherry, and earthy undertones. There’s a whole-bunch floral and fragrant perfume hovering together with some subtle dried herbs, black olive and root vegetables. The palate is structured but shows restraint and elegance as the saturating fruits dissolve into the savoury finish.”

Simon Black, Wine Maker

A warm site situated at the northern end of the Peninsula, with an elevation of 30 metres above sea level and a gentle northern slope. Clay loam soils prevail. This is a powerful site, which typically gives structured and dark fruited wines. Fruit ripens early in the season and for Pinot Noir that means a darker fruit profile with great depth of flavour and structure. The afternoon sea breeze reduces any hot northerly winds. This power and darkness in this block lends itself to Montalto-style whole-bunch fermentation; this technique involves loading whole bunches into a 2T open-fermenter and allowing them to undergo 10 to 14 days of carbonic maceration before being destemmed into 2 tonne open fermenters where primary wild fermentation is completed. The result is a significant increase in aromatics and savoury complexity.
