Montalto Chardonnay
Mornington Peninsula
Price Range at Release: $30-$49
Vintage: 2005
A rather funky but also formulaic chardonnay whose aromas of pineapple, nectarine, melon and peach overlie dusty, toasty oak influences. The palate is generous and juicy, almost flabby, presenting ripe tropical and peachy fruit before an awkward, disjointed and slightly sweet finish of sappy, edgy acids.

Montalto
Montalto is a very diverse business, with a high-level restaurant, an olive grove and wetland development. It's very much a company that focuses on its visitor experience, so while the wine s are basically very competent and sound, there aren't too many that compete amongst the region's finest. Having said that, it's a terrific restaurant and place to spend time at.
