Montalto Estate Chardonnay 2014


From a lower yielding vintage, when Spring frosts affected flowering - a critical period in setting up the vines for bearing in fruit.

Winemaker Simon Black’s hand is clearly on show here: has a touch of edgy funk, cashew with stone fruit and citrus aromas rounding out the profile.

Good balance of juicy flavours against a heart of acid, t’s fast and furious, a raciness if you like. Seemingly has a bit of everything: line, length and textural width through some adroit lees work I’d suggest. Australian Chardonnay at its finest. 94
