Chrismont Restaurant, spring menu, 2019WINEMAKING“Fruit was harvested late in the season when green apple flavours were evidentand the acidity adequately reduced, then pressed gently with only the delicatefree run juice being used. The juice is then settled to clarify before beingfermented cool in stainless steel to help preserve the fruit’s flavours. A shortmaturation period on lees during autumn and winter helped develop the flavoursbefore a spring bottling.” Warren Proft, winemakerTHE LA ZONA COLLECTIONItalian for 'the area', La Zona celebrates Chrismont’s heritage and the upper KingValley’s connection and affection for Mediterranean varietals.WINE SPECIFICATIONSVARIETY: 100% ArneisVINEYARD SITES: Cheshunt, King ValleyAVERAGE VINE AGE: 19 yearsAVERAGE ALTITUDE: 300mVINE TRAINING: Single-wire, vertical shoot positionTECHNICAL ANALYSIS:Alcohol: 12.0%pH: 3.10Acid: 6.07 gLRS: 2.0 gLDrink: Enjoy now or cellar up to 2023
