NV Montalto Pennon Hill Sparkling Rosé

An early drinking style sparkling wine made from 100% Pinot Noir harvested from aromatic clones at our Tuerong Vineyard. Bright and energetic, this wine is a perfect aperitif and generous enough to accompany a host of foods including, prawns and shellfish, smoked salmon, caviar, fried calamari, oysters and brie-style cheeses to name a few. 100% Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir. With the intent of producing a wine with tremendous freshness and purity, we’ve utilised the Charmat method to realise this goal. Grapes are harvested at optimum ripeness followed by gentle whole-bunch pressing. The juice is cold settled and at the completion of the first fermentation, the still wine then undergoes a second fermentation in a pressure vessel, generating the fine bead and freshness associated with this style. The wine is bottled and released for immediate drinking.
