Patrick Sullivan Pinot Noir

The Mornington Peninsula is recognised as one of Australia’s premier regions for cool-climate Pinot Noir, and at Montalto it’s our defining varietal. From estate-grown wines to Single Vineyard bottlings, each Pinot Noir reflects the character of its site - Red Hill, Tuerong and beyond - shaped by maritime breezes, ancient soils and meticulous winemaking. Fresh, juicy, and eager to please, this peninsula Pinot pours ruby-red with raspberry sweetness and plenty of fresh young fruit.
Flanders also sees a growing consumer awareness of those differences, where people are genuinely interested in the difference between say Tuerong and Merricks. “Then again, there are a lot of people that just think Mornington is Mornington and Yarra Valley is Yara Valley,” he says, noting that there is a general view of Mornington pinots being on the more fruit-rich side.

The use of concrete vessels is no experiment either- it’s a style of vessel that has been traditionally used for centuries in the Old World. We have chosen each shape specifically to enhance the texture of the  varietal within them and these beautiful, hand crafted vessels will last lifetimes. Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir is the perfect wine to take when you don’t know what’s for dinner.

At Montalto, Black’s wines have been received with much critical claim and have garnered numerous awards. Amy Oliver completed a business degree in her early 20s, with a working holiday to the UK developing a love for hospitality and the wines of the world. A corporate career followed, but wine never left her thinking, completing her WSET 3 qualification while working as a project manager. That immersion saw her permanently spin off into wine, with stints working as an assistant sommelier at Andrew McConnell’s Cutler & Co, as well as the role of head sommelier at Neil Perry’s Rockpool Dining.
The name Maressa (from the Latin "maris" meaning "of the sea"), is a nod to the noble maritime history of the Port Phillip Bay area. The wine is quite focused with fresh fruit and persistent acidity driving the palate. The earthiness is reminiscent of previous vintages, a characteristic that we now regard as a hallmark of this Burn Cottage site. The 2021 vintage brought lower than average yields and cooler conditions throughout the growing season. Fruit quality was excellent with small bunches and berries providing superb concentration of flavours, fine supple tannins and good acid balance.
