From humble beginnings in 1934, Montana Wines owes much to the passion and toil of their first winemakers. The dedication to their craft has inspired the winemakers of today to create this top quality range of wines. This easy going and approachable wine is delivering classic aromas characteristic of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Lively gooseberry and ripe capsicum, layered with tropical passionfruit and grapefruit undertones.

Aromas of ripe fruit including black and red berries with notes of prunes and crème de cassis. As a result of its 10 months in French oak, it presents good toast intensity with aromas of chocolate, jam, and vanilla, all very well intertwined with the fruit. Smooth and medium bodied on the palate, with good persistence and outstanding notes of vanilla and caramel.

Crafted from pristine grapes that were hand harvested from a single Pisa vineyard Site. Naturally fermented and pressed to allow an extended period of maturation in French Oak. The Mount Michael Pinot Noir is beautifully fragrant showing aromas of dark cherries and plums, violets and raspberries and a hint of clove and vanilla. Rich and concentrated on the palate with flavours that mirror the nose. Enhanced by a mineral core of acidity and chalky dusty tannins. A delicious savoury finish with toasty oak providing an elegant structure and length. Drinking beautifully now, but you will be rewarded with further cellaring.

The Mountaineer Pinot Gris pays homage to the pioneering spirit and sense of adventure displayed by mountain climbers confronting the forces of nature and celebrating the beauty and grandeur of the New Zealand Southern Alps. The preparation, passion and commitment are necessary to grow and make Pinot Gris in Central Otago mirror the challenges faced by these pioneering mountaineers.

Mount Ridge leaned on our cousins across the ditch for the for the fruit for this classic Australian Chardonnay. Following harvest, fruit was gently pressed before settling. Specially selected yeasts were used to start fermentation. From there the wine was delicately matured on oak and lees stirred to impart lovely toasty flavours and a creamy texture.

This wine has aromas of blackberries and cassis with earthy rhubarb notes, complemented by sweet oak. The palate is elegant and finely structured with vanilla and plum on the finish.

This Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from premium vineyards from across New Zealand. Winemaking is kept to a minimum to ensure the varietal and region characteristics shine through. After the fruit was harvested, it was gently pressed and the juice was clarified by flotation so selected Sauvignon Blanc yeasts could be added within six hours of harvest to retain as much flavour and aroma as possible. The juice was batch fermented and ferments were stopped when there was a natural sweetness in the wine which helps to balance the classic Marlborough acidity.

An approachable wine with inviting bright fruit flavours and great texture and roundness. The oak influence delivers complexity and great intensity on the palate.

A perfumed wine with nuances of lime, pear and citrus blossom underpinned by spice and nectarine characters. Dry with intense ripe fruit flavours with a crispy, racy and refreshing long finish of mineral and slate.

Multifaceted nose, exhibiting vibrant aromas of pink grapefruit, passionfruit, gooseberries and currant with a touch of herbal infusion. Weighty mouthfeel with intense although refined flavours finishing with a crisp, acidity.
