About Montalto Single Vineyard Eleven Chardonnay 750mL
Montalto's Single Vineyard Eleven Chardonnay from the Mornington Peninsula is a wine of genuine refinement and cool-climate precision. On the nose, it opens with an inviting bouquet of white peach, preserved lemon, and fresh nectarine, underpinned by a subtle waft of toasted brioche and struck flint. The palate is beautifully structured, delivering a seamless interplay of stone fruit richness and bright citrus acidity. Creamy cashew and vanilla notes from careful oak integration weave through the mid-palate, while a saline, mineral thread adds depth and tension. The finish is long, focused, and impeccably balanced, with lingering grapefruit zest and a chalky minerality that speaks clearly of its single vineyard origin.
