Kimbolton Wines Montepulciano 2024 from Langhorne Creek is a vibrant, medium‑bodied red that takes the Italian classic and gives it a modern Australian twist – bright, fruit‑forward and built for generous, relaxed drinking.

In the glass, Kimbolton Montepulciano 2024 shows lifted red fruits – think cherry and raspberry – with violets, hints of spice and a touch of vanilla‑scented oak, all wrapped around a core of succulent, juicy fruit. The palate is medium in weight, fresh and expressive, with red and black fruits, gentle peppery lift and fine, well‑integrated tannins that keep things smooth yet structured. As the region’s benchmark Monte, grown on Langhorne Creek’s alluvial floodplains, it combines drinkability with enough savoury detail to keep serious palates interested.

Kimbolton Montepulciano 2024 is tailor‑made for antipasto platters, cured meats, margherita or salami pizza, lasagne and tomato‑based pasta, where its bright fruit and gentle grip lap up richness and acidity. It also works beautifully with grilled sausages, meatballs, roast vegetables and hard cheeses, making it a hugely versatile red for everything from mid‑week pasta to weekend gatherings.
