2023 Chrismont La Zona Arneis

The 2023 Chrismont La Zona Arneis, also known in Italy as the “little rascal”, Arneis is traditionally hard to grow.

But in the King Valley, the variety flourishes thanks to the region’s open blue skies and pristine cool climate.

An exquisite aperitif with a crisp, dry finish, this is a popular choice with Australia’s wine and food lovers.

Winemaker Notes

The fruit is harvested late in the season when green apple flavours are evident and the acidity has
adequately reduced. The fruit is pressed gently, with only the delicate free run juice being used. The juice is
settled to clarify before being fermented cool in stainless steel to help preserve fruit flavours. A short
maturation period on lees during autumn and winter helps to develop the flavours of the wine before it is
prepared for bottling in spring.
