our vineyards

The first block of Chrismont’s vineyards was planted in 1980 by Arnie and his father, Arnold. The vineyards now span 250 acres.

Undoubtedly, the major force behind the quality of Chrismont is the soil on which the property sits, and the fact Chrismont lies in the heart of the spectacular King Valley.

With a similar climate and landscape to the Piedmont and Tuscany in Italy and Alsace in France, long summer days enable the grapes to achieve genuine flavour ripeness which gives lovely fruit richness to the wines, while cool nights allow elegant cool climate characters to emerge.
