Located in the heart of Victoria's Mornington Peninsula wine region, Montalto has established itself as one of the region's most popular and visited wineries. Their Pennon Hill range of wine regularly deliver outstanding examples of the region's hero varietals at very reasonable price points.
The 2023 Montalto Pennon Hill Chardonnay is another impressive Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay from this esteemed producer. Offering classic cool-climate aromatics of white nectarine, peach and grapefruit, with subtle noted of roasted hazelnut. On the palate the zesty drive of citrus compliments the generosity of stone fruit, delivering a focused and vibrant wine.
"94 Points. Always a terrific go-to wine showcasing the peninsula as much as the producer. It’s really juicy and zesty, full of citrus and white stone fruit, with a sprinkling of spice, lime zest and coriander seeds. It’s tangy and lively across the palate, and while there’s a slip of leesy texture, this is mouth-watering and superfine. Very good. $36. 13% alc. Screwcap. Drink: 2024 - 2030"- Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion.
