Chrismont Riesling 2023 (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 in the early 1980’s. This is a beautiful wine representing both quality and value.

“The fruit is harvested when a synergy of citrus flavours with acidity is evident as we are looking for a pure representation of the variety from this block. Fruit is machine-picked cold and tipped directly to press then drained and gently pressed with only the free-run juice used. The juice is then fined and settled to clarify before fermentation in stainless steel. The wine then spends six months maturation on lees during autumn and winter, before being blended and blended and prepared for bottling in spring.” Warren Proft, Winemaker.
