Chrismont Riesling 2022 (King Valley)

As crisp as the climate of its King Valley home, this wine is an exciting expression of one of the world’s classic white grape varieties. Riesling is also a building block on which Chrismont’s reputation stands today, being some of the first vines planted by Arnie and Arnaldo Pizzini in the early 1980’s. A beautiful wine representing both quality and value.

“When making this wine, we ultimately look towards it being a pure representation of the vineyard. The fruit is harvested when we start to see a synergy of citrus flavours with acidity. Pressed gently with only the delicate free run juice being used, the juice is fined and settled to clarify before being fermented cool in stainless steel to preserve its fruit flavours. A short 6-month maturation period on lees during autumn and early winter helps to develop the flavours of the wine before it is prepared for bottling in spring.” Warren Proft, Winemaker.
