Montalto Pennon Hill Pinot Noir 750ml

Divine perfume encompassing red and blue fruits, florals, talc, forest floor and crushed fresh herbs. Supple and delicate red fruits, including cherry, currants and strawberry compote, meld with Asian 5-spice driving the medium-bodied palate. This is a beautifully expressive wine with flow and grace.

Grapes were de-stemmed into 2T open fermenters followed by a cold maceration period of between 3 and 5 days before the onset of wild fermentation. At the completion of primary fermentation, the grapes were pressed and the wine transferred to French oak barriques and Puncheons (15% new) for natural malo-lactic fermentation. Average skin contact time was 17 days. Barrel maturation was for 9 months.
