Rosé may be known as the wine of summer, but at Montalto it’s a year-round expression of cool-climate freshness and Pinot Noir purity. Crafted from fruit grown at our Red Hill and Tuerong vineyards, our Rosés showcase the Mornington Peninsula’s unique maritime climate - delivering vibrant red fruits, savoury nuance and refreshing acidity. Whether still or sparkling, Montalto Rosé captures the brightness and charm of our vineyards in every glass.
Montalto Rosé wines are known for:
· Fruit spectrum - wild strawberry, red cherry, rose petal, apple, rhubarb.
· Savoury complexity - fennel, spice and subtle minerality.
· Texture - powder-fine tannins, creamy mousse (for sparkling), and crunchy acidity.
Each wine is crafted to be refreshing, food-friendly, and irresistibly drinkable.
