Chrismont excel in the vinification of pure, high altitude varietal wines, into the most articulate expression of terroir and growing season as it influences the character of grape, through a synergy of traditional and modern techniques. The variations from one vintage to the next are particularly relevant in a higher altitude, cool climate growing region such as King Valley. Parcels from premiere estate vineyards at Whitfield and Valley King, are assembled into a juicily fragrant Muscat wine of generous palate length, sound structure and winsome varietal charm.

$2199each $263DOZEN EACH DOZEN Very low disease pressure and perfect slow ripening conditions are the norm around the Chrismont vineyards. Fruit is harvested during the early hours of morning and directly transported to the winery. Grapes are loaded into a membrane press where the delicate free run juice is allowed to drain using low pressures with minimal movement to reduce phenolic extraction. The juices are allowed to settle over forty eight hours to clarify before being racked for fermentation. With a meagre amount of sugar remaining, the vinification is arrested and the wine allowed to clarify. Individual batches are selected to achieve the right balance of texture and flavours before assembling into the final wine.

Light straw with greenish hues. Honeysuckle, lemon and lime on the bouquet. Citrus and tropical fruit on the palate are carried by a great acid structure giving good flavour length, an attractive wine while young, will continue to develop subtle toast and honey complexity. An exquisite white wine, perfect as the most congenial aperitif, a delight alongside dover sole.

The major force behind the vigor of Chrismont wines are the healthy soils, extended growing seasons and slow ripening climes of the vineyards, which are positioned optimally at the heart of spectacular King Valley. With climates and landscape so similar to those of Piemonte, Tuscany and Alsace, the King Valley's long summer days enable Pinot Grigio to achieve complete flavour ripeness, infusing La Zona with the richness of baked apple flavours, citrus perfumes and warming marzipan characters. To accompany light game, pasta or desserts with a fresh fruit orientation.

$2399each $287DOZEN EACH DOZEN In the days when wine production was rapidly expanding and tobacco was in decline, contracts were offered to grow grapes. The first blocks of Chrismont were transformed from tobacco to grape vine in the 1980s. As a mutation of the deep purple Pinot Noir and the greenish yellow Pinot Blanc, Pinot Grigio runs a spectrum of fruit characters that vary according to terroir and clime. Fruit is vinified in chilled fermenters to maintain varietal freshness, upon completion and following a term of repose for clarification, components are assembled along with a small percentage of reserve wine for added complexity and extra interest.

Straw hues, copper highlights. The nose carries lifted aromas of pawpaw and white peach with an underlying layer of spiced custard and cream. Ripe pear and melon are predominant with subtleties of quince and cooked apple. A luscious rounded front palate with flavours of quince, custard apple and toasted almond, acid is firm and structured before a dry and lasting finish.
