We're absolutely thrilled to announce that our 2023 Montalto Syrah has been included in the Halliday Wine Companion Top 100 Wines of 2024.
This accolade caps off a decade of outstanding results:
"Classic cool climate aromas of Allspice, blackberries, olives, and Queen Garnet plum. On the palate this medium bodied Syrah has a core of juicy dark fruit including boysenberry, plum and blueberry balanced with subtle coffee grinds, dark chocolate, and hint of pepper."
Simon Black, Chief Winemaker
'The colour is outrageous – a vibrant black purple shot with ruby. Heady aromas come in next all floral and spicy with a touch of meaty reduction and wood smoke with some nori, too. While it snaps, crackles and pops with juicy, tangy fruit, this is savoury – a big part of its appeal. Some licorice infuses the black plums, the tannins ripe, slightly gritty and textural covering the mid-weighted palate with ease. Syrah made by a pinot noir specialist. Nice one." Score 96/100.
