95 Points - James Halliday Wine Companion 2020 “Intensely fragrant, a combination red fruits including wild strawberry, raspberry, red currants and sour cherry combine with some dried herbal aromas of sage and bay leaf. Floral notes, spice, earth and forest floor are woven nicely through the primary fruit. Careful oak handling imparts further complexity. The fruit is moreish in quality and has an energy and vitality carrying the long and bright finish.” Simon Black, winemaker

“Brilliant garnet colour. Intense cherry and blood orange fruit are the driving force behind our Red Hill single vineyard release, together with some earth and graphite aromas and a whisper of integrated mocha oak. Concentration of fruit together with an abundance of fine tannins and bright acidity provides length and structure. There’s a minerality and savoury line flowing through on the long finish.” Simon Black, winemaker

“Cherry red with purple hues. An intensely aromatic wine with incredible complexity. Lots of blue and red fruit together with ferrous, earth and graphite characters.

Five Trophies 95 Points - James Halliday Wine Companion 2020 “A highly aromatic wine displaying immense complexity. Blackberry and kirsch notes combine with graphite, cherry, and earthy undertones. There’s a whole-bunch floral and fragrant perfume hovering together with some subtle dried herbs, black olive and root vegetables. The palate is structured but shows restraint and elegance as the saturating fruits dissolve into the savoury finish.” Simon Black, winemaker

95 Points - James Halliday Wine Companion 2020 “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

“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
