Montalto Tuerong Block Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir

At just 13.8%, Tuerong is the deepest and richest of Montalto’s 2012 pinots, yet still very much a refined and graceful Mornington pinot. Red cherry fruits, violet perfume and berry compote are encased in tightly structured French oak, polished, crafted and impeccably executed. Tannins are fine and confident and acidity is tangy and refreshing, conspiring to promise great things in the cellar. Best price direct.
