Winery & Vintage Info
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.
A wine that captures the essence of place – Blocks Q1 and U1, Whitfield, King Valley. This combination of variety and vineyard delivers a consistent aromatic wine full of lime florals, bright acidity, and a zesty finish—a beautiful Riesling representing value and quality winemaking.
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 these two blocks. 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 tanks. The wine then spends six months maturation on lees during autumn and winter, before blended and prepared for bottling in spring.
