About Montalto Pennon Hill Pinot Noir 2025
Montalto's Pennon Hill Pinot Noir is an expressive and approachable expression from the Mornington Peninsula, showcasing the region's hallmark elegance. On the nose, fragrant red cherries and fresh raspberries mingle with a delicate violet florality, underscored by a whisper of dried herbs and cool-climate earthiness. The palate is silky and refined, with bright red fruit at the fore — pomegranate, red plum, and wild strawberry — framed by fine, supple tannins and lively natural acidity. Subtle notes of cedar, a touch of spice from restrained oak handling, and a faint forest floor complexity add layers without weight. The wine finishes with graceful persistence, leaving a lingering impression of red fruits and savoury minerality.
