2024 Elanto Vineyard

Elanto Vineyard is fast becoming one of the most compelling projects on the Mornington Peninsula. Established in 2018 by Elizabeth and Tony Todaro with Sandro Mosele at the helm, the 10.6-hectare Balnarring site is planted at an extraordinary density over 11,000 vines per hectare, four times the regional norm. Yields are kept to just 300-500g per vine, resulting in small, concentrated bunches that carry the depth and power Sandro has long championed. Volcanic red soils, southeast exposure, and the cooling influence of Western Port Bay provide the setting, while meticulous organic farming and uncompromising vineyard detail push the wines into rare territory.

With only Chardonnay and Pinot Noir produced, Elanto is a singular pursuit of quality, executed with precision at every stage. The inaugural releases impressed immediately, and the recognition as Best New Winery in the latest Wine Companion awards underlines just how remarkable this young estate already is. These 2024 wines build further on that foundation: pure, concentrated, and full of promise, they show why Elanto is already being spoken of as one of Australia’s most exciting vineyard ventures.
