Mornington, VIC, Australia
"The charm of the Tuerong Pinot Noir begins with its complex nose. A plethora of aromas including bramble, Ink, cola, sarsaparilla, beets, parsnips, charcuterie, earth and a waft of cinnamon stick. On the palate, polished supple mulberry and blackberry fruits combine with spice, earthiness and mouth-coating chalky tannins on a long savoury finish. It’s a wine that invites you to revisit it again and again to contemplate its evolution over time."
Simon Black, Chief Winemaker.

Best Regional Pinot Noir95/ 100 - Steve Leszczynski, Qwine.
"This Tuerong is probably the most generous of the Montalto Single Vineyard Pinots. The Merricks is all things savoury, North One is pretty and this is muscular and measured not to mention that there are some Central Otago vibes going on here... It's long, persistent and moreish. I could get awfully comfortable here. Excellent stuff.”93 points - Halliday Wine Companion
"Since 42% of the wine undergoes carbonic maceration for 2 weeks before it’s destemmed, it makes an impact on the aroma/flavour profile – and a very good one. Heady with joss sticks, florals and lots of autumn leaves and damp earth, meaty reduction yet plenty of dark and sour cherries in the mix. Mid-weighted with sinewy if firm tannins; this feels energised, tangy and tart with perky acidity in charge. Delicious now yet in a transitional phase, so this will garner more complexity in time."
