Montalto Chardonnay 2023

‘’An expressive nose of white fleshed stone fruit and citrus compliment characters of almond croissant, praline and nougat. On the palate the wine is generous with flavours of ruby grapefruit, ripe lemon and just a hint of candied citrus peel. Talc and pumice stone combine with minerals and crème brûlée to create a layered wine that is rich in texture yet lively and fresh.''

Simon Black, Chief Winemaker. 

REVIEWS

"This is a fabulous release. Bang, we’re off to the races. It’s intense, it’s layered, it’s lovely and it’s long. It’s also harmonious. Stonefruits, lemon myrtle, beeswax and assorted florals. It’s pretty and it’s lively and while it’s not plush, the palate has a bit of spread to it, a bit of luxury. The acidity here, dripping with flavour as it is, is a bit of a masterclass too."

Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front.

"The 2023 Chardonnay is lean and nutty, with pressed white flowers, salty acidity and layers of leafy herbs. In the mouth, the palate is all about honeydew melon and a dusty, musky character that actually sits quite well within the fruit. Lovely acid provides drive through the finish. Pretty wine."

Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate.
