A wine that can vary in style and flavour depending on where and how the grapes have been grown, Montalto’s take on Pinot Gris has always been to create a wine of individualistic character with unique textures and bouquets. At a glance, Pinot Gris is a dry, medium to full-bodied wine that delivers fruity flavours such as apple, pear and melon. However, the cool conditions and unique terroir of Montalto’s coastal vineyards on the Mornington Peninsula, accompanied by our meticulous vinification processes, have allowed us to deliver a diverse and distinctive range of Pinot Gris wines featuring flavours not seen before. Those seeking to educate their palate on Pinot Gris will not be disappointed by the exceptional range Montalto has to offer.
The fruit for our range of Pinot Gris has been sourced from three of our vineyards along the peninsula; Main Ridge, Red Hill and Tuerong. This means our Pinot Gris selection is fresh, intensely aromatic and vigorously complex. Pairing delicately blended medleys of intensely fragrant fruits such as Beurre Bosc pear, Nashi Pear and lemon sherbet with special notes such as rose petal, liquorice root, apple blossom, oatmeal and almond paste, Montalto’s Pinot Gris delivers expressive yet individualistic flavour.
Indulge in a brief getaway on the Mornington Peninsula with Montalto and savour our unparalleled collection of award-winning wines by booking The Cellar Door. Begin your exploration with our Pennon Hill Pinot Gris 2022 and immerse yourself in aromas of scented talc, musk sticks, Nashi pears and lemon sherbet, accompanied by subtle mineral and nettle notes.
