2021 Chrismont La Zona Barbera

When first planting the 2021 Chrismont La Zona Barbera in 1984, little did we know it would become the start of our Chrismont La Zona collection of Mediterranean varietal wines.

Each year we continue to develop Barbera’s distinct style through meticulous grape growing, devoted winemaking and with the encouragement of Australia’s love for the style.

Winemaker Notes

Grapes are harvested cool and crushed into small fermenters. The first few days see a cool, slow start to fermentation, which is allowed to naturally warm slowly, reaching a peak of 28 degrees towards the end. This is then drained and pressed into tanks and barrels to complete primary and malolactic fermentation. The new wine is then matured in new (15%) and older large-format French oak barrels for 12 months before being blended and prepared for bottling. Released after an extra six to twelve months of aging in the bottle.
