“Preserved lemons and lemon curd provide the aroma framework for this wine. There’s an intriguing savoury complexity also. White florals, quince, oatmeal, pastry and brioche notes all chime in to add extra dimension. There’s an underlying current of evenness and a tension and brightness of natural acidity. The palate is chewy and textured. Purity, complexity and tension are the hallmark qualities of this 2017 release.” Simon Black, winemaker

“Pale straw with green hues, the 2017 Montalto ‘The Eleven’ Chardonnay offers lemon and lime sherbet, tangerine and grapefruit combined with floral and mineral notes by way of slate and flint. White florals fuse with crème brulee and brioche aromas. There is subtle oak influence by way of roasted hazelnuts with hints of struck match. Purity and tension are the hallmark qualities of the 2017 ‘The Eleven’ Chardonnay. The palate has a tight, fresh citrus focus balanced with white-flesh stone fruits and lovely slate and flint nuances. There is remarkable drive here and a long and focused palate. Creamy mouthfeel from both oak handling and lees influence adds richness and texture.” Simon Black, winemaker

"The Estate Chardonnay is traditionally built on a core of citrus fruit (lime, lemon, tangerine, grapefruit), but in 2018, the warmer season has added an extra layer of white fleshed stone fruits. Wet stone, white florals, a lick of sulphides and spicy oak all chime in to play their part. The influence of French oak adds to the chewy richness and mouth feel of the wine, before finishing with bright and energetic naturally acidity." Simon Black, winemaker
