Cuvée One

2004 Montalto

Cuvée One Sparkling

92/100 James Halliday, 2008 Wine Companion

"...abundant fruit ranging through stone fruit, citrus and strawberry; enjoyable style, clean, dry finish."

Montalto Riesling

2010 - 94/100, James Halliday, 2012 Wine Companion
"Pale straw-green; the flowery, scented bouquet is spotlessly clean and fresh, the zippy, zesty palate with a lime and mineral interplay, and a long and juicy finish."

Montalto Chardonnay

2009 Montalto Chardonnay - 96/100, James Halliday 2012 Wine Companion
Bright green-straw... the bouquet is expressive, the palate another thing again, spearing through to the finish with a lingering aftertaste..."

Montalto Pinot Noir

2009 Montalto Pinot Noir - 96/100 James Halliday, 2012 Wine Companion
"Deeper crimson than Pennon; a velvety, succulent, plummy pinot that in no way loses its varietal femininity, and will likely be largely drunk before all its wares are exposed. Dry-grown, hand-pruned, hand-picked."
