Clever wine for a warm vintage. Simon Black & crew are doing good things at Montalto.

It’s a quite delicate wine for the Peninsula – cool and quite delicate, grapefruit meets breadfruit and white melon. The palate too is an essay in control, the white peach fruit carefully contained by briny acidity.

Very satisfying modern Chardonnay. Maybe a little lean to be perfect just yet, but utterly delicious and refreshing. Yes.
