10am Montalto | Off the Beaten Track Tour
Go beyond the Cellar Door and uncover the stories behind each of Montalto’s award-winning wines. Join one of our experienced wine team for a private tour of some of Montalto’s most iconic vineyards: Lake Block, home of the Sparkling Rosé; North Face, home of theaward-winning ‘The Eleven’Chardonnay; South Face, where you’ll find the much-loved Pennon Hill Pinot Noir; and Red Hill Block, growing the revered Single Vineyard Pinot Noir vines.
During this 60-minute experience, we’ll explain why cool climate wines are so unique, how vines grown mere metres apart can have such varying characteristics and our approach to optimising those qualities.
At each vineyard, your host will guide you through an in-depth tasting highlighting the unique traits of that vineyard coupled with outstanding winemaking techniques which produce truly exemplary wines.
Finally, take a lasting memory home with you from the vineyards you visited, and the wines you tasted, with a bottle of our Single Vineyard wine to enjoy at home, add to your cellar or gift to lucky friends.
