Elevate your gin collection with the release of Montalto’s Limited-Edition Gin Batch IV. This year’s creation embodies the vibrancy of the Mornington Peninsula, showcasing our commitment to crafting unique, premium spirits inspired by nature and our estate’s seasonal bounty.
At the heart of Batch IV lies a harmonious blend of flavours and aromas. Estate-grown red plums and rosemary, hand-picked from Wendy’s Garden, set the stage for an aromatic journey. Their earthy sweetness is perfectly balanced by zesty lime, fragrant lemon myrtle, and juicy orchard orange, creating a vibrant citrus profile. Hibiscus rosella and butterfly pea enhance both the flavour and appearance, offering floral notes and a captivating hue that transforms with every pour. A final touch of Tasmanian Mountain Pepperberry ensures a dry, refined finish, making this gin as sophisticated as it is approachable.
The story of Montalto’s limited-edition gins is deeply intertwined with our partnership with Bass & Flinders Distillery. Known for their dedication to crafting artisanal spirits, Bass & Flinders is a pioneer in small-batch distillation on the Mornington Peninsula. Since their founding, they have embraced traditional methods while incorporating innovative techniques that highlight local ingredients. This philosophy aligns seamlessly with Montalto’s commitment to sustainability and excellence.
Our collaboration began with a shared vision: to create gins that capture the essence of our estate and the Peninsula. Each batch is a celebration of seasonal produce, carefully selected and skilfully distilled to create a spirit that is distinctly Montalto. Bass & Flinders’ expertise in distillation, combined with Montalto’s deep connection to the land, results in gins that are as unique as they are delicious.
Small-batch gin making is both an art and a science. By producing in limited quantities, distillers can focus on quality, precision, and creativity. Each batch of Montalto gin is meticulously crafted, allowing for experimentation with flavours, botanicals, and techniques. This approach not only ensures exceptional quality but also allows us to tell a story through every bottle.
With Bass & Flinders at the helm, each release has pushed the boundaries of what a gin can be. Past creations, such as the Apple & Blackberry Crumble Gin and the Montalto x Bass & Flinders Gin Batches 1, 2 and 3, have delighted connoisseurs with their bold flavours and innovative use of estate-grown ingredients. Batch IV continues this tradition, offering a lush, aromatic profile that is both refined and adventurous.
Batch IV is versatile and inviting. For the ultimate serve, pair it with Fever Tree Mediterranean or Elderflower tonic. Garnish with a slice of orange or a sprig of rosemary to enhance the citrus and herbal notes. The macerated estate-grown red plums provide a lush sweetness that complements the vibrant citrus, while the rosemary adds an herbaceous depth that is elevated by the tonic’s effervescence.
This gin’s floral and botanical complexity makes it a standout choice for creative cocktails. Whether you’re hosting a summer gathering or enjoying a quiet evening, Batch IV is the perfect centrepiece for any occasion.
Montalto Gin Batch IV is more than just a spirit; it’s a testament to the art of distillation and the beauty of collaboration. Each sip reflects the dedication, creativity, and passion that define our partnership with Bass & Flinders. By combining traditional methods with modern innovation, we’ve crafted a gin that captures the spirit of the Mornington Peninsula in every glass.
