Montalto Single Vineyard 'Merricks' Pinot Noir 2023

"The Merricks Pinot Noir boasts a rich ruby red colour and purple hues. It opens with sweet mulberry fruit, maraschino cherry and Black Forest cake with some blood orange and blood plum fruit in support. The incorporation of whole bunch tempers the juiciness, creating a savoury line that compliments the plush structural tannins." 

Simon Black, Chief Winemaker.

REVIEWS

"There’s plenty of sinew to this release. It’s cherry-berried with cranberried acidity, tomato bush characters and pink lipstick-like oak, but it’s the grainy, undergrowth-y tannin and the sweet-sour varietal drive of the fruit that really sets it up. This continues Montalto’s excellent run of form."

Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front.

"A fabulous savoury drive is the highlight of this Montalto Merricks Pinot Noir… Sleek and silky, it rolls through with ease and just hangs leaving plenty to consider. Brilliant as you can expect from Simon Black.” Score 95/100.
