Montalto Cuvée One 2017

"Made from the traditional Champagne grape varieties 46% Chardonnay (clone 96) and 54% Pinot Noir (D5V12 Clone).

The mix of varieties and extended lees ageing has resulted in a complex bouquet. The Chardonnay component sings with citrus, white peach with white florals. The Pinot Noir brings strawberries while the winemaking and lees handling introduces a whole new level of complexity by way of barley, almond croissant, together with bready and yeast aromas. There’s plenty of richness upfront supported by a creamy mid-palate with lots of mouth feel. Tangy naturally acidity provides line, length and freshness."

Simon Black, Chief Winemaker.
