Description

I have been selling the Chismont wines for almost as long as I have been in the industry. They consistently offer great-value wines that hold appeal for all palates. The 2025 La Zona Pinot Grigio is fresh, showing pear drops and melon. The palate is light, clean and simple. This is a wine to drink in the sunshine.

Arnie Pizzini is part of the movement that put the King Valley on the map. Originally planting Riesling and Chardonnay to satisfy demand, the vineyard has grown and evolved to include many of the international varieties, but also with a strong focus on Italian grapes – a nod to the Pizzini’s heritage.

Chrismont La Zona Pinot Grigio King Valley 2025 Winemaker Notes

“The fruit for our La Zona Pinot Grigio is harvested early in the season to achieve its distinctive light floral fruit flavours with good natural acidity. The juice is handled oxidatively to naturally remove any colour and unwanted tannins prior to settling and racking, then fermented cool in stainless steel to preserve fruit flavours followed by a short maturation period on lees during autumn and winter, before bottling in spring.” Warren Proft, winemaker
