The 2024 Montalto Estate Pinot Noir is a refined and expressive Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir, showcasing the elegance, purity, and regional character that have made Montalto one of Victoria’s leading cool-climate producers. Crafted by Montalto, this wine reflects a commitment to sustainable viticulture, meticulous vineyard management, and site-driven winemaking.
Sourced from carefully selected estate vineyards across the Mornington Peninsula, the 2024 vintage benefited from a long and moderate growing season, allowing for slow ripening and excellent flavour development while preserving natural acidity and aromatic freshness. The maritime climate and diverse soils contribute to the wine’s balance, complexity, and finesse.
In the winery, fruit was hand-harvested and fermented in small batches with gentle extraction to preserve purity and texture. A portion of whole bunches was included to enhance aromatic lift and structure, while maturation in French oak barrels added subtle complexity without overshadowing the fruit.
The wine opens with vibrant aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry, and cranberry, layered with notes of rose petal, spice, forest floor, and subtle savoury earthiness. The palate is medium-bodied and finely textured, with silky tannins, bright acidity, and a long, elegant finish that reflects its cool-climate origins.
Approachable upon release, the 2024 Montalto Estate Pinot Noir will continue to develop additional complexity over the next 5–10 years, rewarding careful cellaring.
A classic Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir that combines purity, finesse, and excellent drinkability.
