Montalto Pennon Hill Chardonnay 2020
Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, AustraliaThis is a multi-clone chardonnay from Montalto's Red Hill sites, as well as their warmer Tuerong vineyard. This was whole bunch pressed to French barriques (29% new), native fermented, with natural MLF, and 9 months aging on lees. There's a lovely reductive edge to this medium bodied, structural white, with alluring lemon, cream, toasted hazelnut, green apple, and light toast to a chalky-gripped finish. Lovely purity and focus in this youthful wine, showcasing Cool Climate Chardy in Oz.Tasted: 22 April 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $34.95 | 750ml | consignment |
