Montalto Estate Pinot Noir 2024 from the cool, coastal slopes of the Mornington Peninsula is a beautifully poised red that captures the estate’s signature mix of purity, perfume and savoury complexity in one very classy package. This Montalto Estate Pinot Noir 2024 is all about elegance, texture and coastal freshness.

Dark cherry and Black Doris plum lead the nose, with sarsaparilla, roasted meats, stock cube, bramble, crushed sage and lifted whole‑bunch spice weaving in savoury depth. The palate is silky and medium‑bodied, delivering bright red fruits, dark cherry and subtle earth wrapped in fine, powdery tannins, gentle French oak and a long, moreish, saline‑edged finish.

Montalto Pinot Noir 2024 is superb with roast duck, lamb rack, mushroom dishes, charcuterie or grilled salmon, drinking beautifully on release but with the structure to evolve gracefully over 8–10 years in the cellar.
