Made as a single vineyard wine, this Sangiovese marks a unique release for Chrismont and the La Zona collection. Dark red in colour with a crimson fringe. Dark cherry, blackberry, and mulberry aromas, with a background of chocolate and toffee. The palate is full and distinctive with dark berry fruit, well-structured with characteristic fine tannins.

WINEMAKER NOTES
“The grapes are crushed and fermented in two batches; one on skins for 14 days before being drained off, and the other fermented and left on skins for an extra four weeks extended maceration. These two variations help to enhance and exhibit the classic savoury sangiovese tannins. The new wine is then drained and gently pressed into new (30%) and older French oak hogsheads for malolactic fermentation and 15 months maturation before being blended and prepared for bottling. The wine is then released after an extra twelve to eighteen months age in bottle.” Warren Proft, winemaker

About La Zona Wines

Italian for “the area”, the popular La Zona range is as diverse as the King Valley’s renowned altitudes and celebrates not only Chrismont’s Italian heritage, but its vineyard’s abilities and affections with Mediterranean varietals.

Grapegrowers since 1980 and winemakers from 1996, Chrismont is inspired by Mediterranean and classic European varieties, which in equal parts reflects its heritage and a belief that the rich, undulating landscapes and cool climate of King Valley is ideal for producing varietal distinctive, quality wines.

The Chrismont ‘red cap’ range celebrates classic European varietal wines made from some of the King Valley’s oldest vineyards, capturing the region’s unique terrain in fresh, contemporary styles, and includes one of Australia’s great quality Rieslings.
