Technical Information

A warm site situated at the northern end of the Peninsula, with an elevation of 30 metres above sea level and a gentle northern slope. Clay loam soils prevail. This is a powerful site, which typically gives structured and dark fruited wines. Fruit ripens early in the season and for Pinot Noir that means a darker fruit profile with great depth of flavour and structure. The afternoon sea breeze reduces any hot northerly winds. This power and darkness in this block lends itself to Montalto-style whole-bunch fermentation; this technique involves loading whole bunches into a 2T open-fermenter and allowing them to undergo 10 to 14 days of carbonic maceration before being destemmed into 2 tonne open fermenters where primary wild fermentation is completed. The result is a significant increase in aromatics and savoury complexity.

“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

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
