LIVE certified sustainable. The lion’s share of Montinore’s entry-level Pinot is drawn from dry-farmed estate vines, with a small portion of fruit coming from a sustainably farmed vineyard in Yamhill-Carlton.

The latter site, with its warmer microclimate on volcanic soils, brings juicy fruit weight to a bright and silky Pinot that is blended to enjoy from the start.

To this end, the fruit is destemmed and fermented in small, open-top steel vessels and matured in a mixture of stainless steel and French and Hungarian oak for 10 months before bottling.

It’s a balanced and harmonious Pinot Noir of bright cherry and red plum fruit, matched to earthy tones and some warm, spicy depth. It’s just bursting with flavour, structure and energy, compact and charming with enduring length and a juicy, bright close. A cracker considering the price.

“Richer and fuller with ripe-strawberry and orange-peel aromas and flavors. Medium to full body, creamy tannins and a juicy finish. Drinkable now, but better in a year or two.” 92 points,  James Suckling com
