blü hen Montepulciano 2022

So, SO impressive! I tasted a few Montepulciano releases on my recent trip to Mudgee and this release from Robert Stein was way in front. What a belter!

After Five Wine Co Montepulciano 2021

Staining depth. A wine that really digs its claws in, this a very tidy expression of Montepulciano from the southern Barossa.

After Five Wine Co Serata 2019

 

The blending of unlikely bedfellows Shiraz, Montepulciano and Aglianico (50/29/21) has delivered an absolute treat. A generous wine with a stunning savoury edge, be sure to decant to see it at its best.

Colours of the South Rosso 2020

  

A barbecue or roast night special. Generous with soft spices, this is a terrific drink.

Dr Plonk The Good Doctor's Antidote Montepulciano 2021

 

The entry-level FU Manchu Montepulciano is a dangerously slurpable beast, but this Good Doctor's Antidote from Dr Plonk just takes things to another level. Is it the best Australian Montepulciano I've tasted? All signs point to yes!

FU Manchu Montepulciano 2022

 

If Montepulciano translates to "yummo" then the crew at FU Manchu and Dr Plonk have nailed the brief. Yikes! This is a great slurp. 

Angullong Fossil Hill Montepulciano 2021

 

What a great drink this is. It's rich, generous and loaded with interest. Monte Australian style smashing the brief. 

Tenafeate Creek One Tree Hill Montepulciano 2021

 

Cool nights and some comfort food are calling. A generous Montepulciano from Tenafeate Creek.

Angullong Crossing Reserve Harriet 2019

 

All the Italians swing into action here - Sangiovese, Sagrantino and Montepulciano come together in a blend that I can't help but keep going back for.

Grandis Wines Earthed Montepulciano 2020

 

There is a lot to like about the shape and flow of this wine. Montepulciano from the Hunter Valley, it is infused with organic Australian Ginseng as an alternative preservative - a unique approach. This is a wine worth checking out.

FU Manchu Montepulciano 2021

 

A butcher's dreamboat, fistfuls of dark fruits flow with ease. Fine spices and a dash of pepper, there is an incredible moreishness that flows. 

Langmeil Massimo 2020

 

Primitivo and Montepulciano come together delivering a pretty and uplifting wine.

Coriole Montimaro 2020

 

Montepulciano, Sangiovese, Negroamaro and Nero d'Avola co-fermented to deliver an Italian superhero - less the cape. 

Coriole Montepulciano 2019

 

Classic Monte. Yes! Such a wonderful drink. Another Italian classic done well by Coriole.

Tasty Montepulciano. Really tasty. Gimme a big glass pronto.

Gerler The Fog 2019

Quite a blend! Touriga, Montepulciano, Pinot Noir, Tempranillo and Nero d'Avola from McLaren Vale. 

Gerler Rej Montepulciano Mataro 2019

 

Blends fascinate me. The exploration is exciting, outrageous and fascinating all at the same time. Here are two varieties singing a duet together - a duet I wouldn't have contemplated.

Langmeil Massimo Montepulciano Primitivo 2019

A big, sturdy blend coming at you from the Barossa's Langmeil Estate. Two varieties I've never seen together, but it works.

Smidge Wines Uno Momento Montepulciano 2017

If Montepulciano is your thing, make a bee line to this. A stunning wine from Matt Wenk that just slides down with absolute ease.

A great Montepulciano from a small producer.
