Montevecchio Bianco is a co-fermented field blend made from Italian white varieties from our Northern Heathcote vineyard site.
The 2022 Montevecchio Bianco is a field blend of Ribolla Gialla 50%, Vermentino 32%, Pecorino 9%, Moscato Giallo 3%, Malvasia Istriana 3%, Falanghina 3%. All these varieties were imported by Chalmers over the last 25 years, highlighting the diversity and success of Italian Varieties here in Australia. The origin of these grapes come from all over Italy, Ribolla Gialla and Moscato Giallo from the north, to Vermentino, Falanghina, Pecorino and Fiano from the central and south of Italy. It’s the sum its parts that make this wine the quintessential dry white wine with delicious personality.
Tasting Notes: This fragrant and attractive wine shows exotic notes of cardamom, fleshy ripe pear. It is crisp yet giving on the palate with a clean finish. Enjoy chilled with great company and some sunshine.
