Selected parcels of fruit were de-stemmed and crushed, with the juice
promptly separated from the skins to maintain a delicate pink tint.
Individual batches were cool fermented in stainless steel, followed by lees
stirring to add length and roundness to the palate. The wine was blended,
stabilised, and filtered prior to bottling.
VINTAGE
Vintage 2024 offered ideal conditions for grape ripening. The summer's
warm days and cool nights, combined with reduced rainfall, ensured the
fruit achieved optimal ripeness. As a result, the wines showcase exceptional
varietal flavours, featuring bright, spicy reds and clean, aromatic whites.
About the range
Selection 23 Breeze
Introducing Selection 23 Breeze – a lighter twist on our beloved Selection 23 wines. Designed for those who prefer a lower-alcohol option, ‘Breeze’ delivers the same flavour and quality you love, with a refreshingly lighter feel.*
We begin by crafting a full-strength wine, carefully selecting parcels with intense aromas and flavours. Then, we gently reduce the alcohol to the desired level of 8.0-9.5%, without using heat or harsh processes that might compromise the wine. This allows the aromas and flavours to truly shine.
The Selection 23 Breeze range looks, smells, and tastes just like wine should, but in a lighter, more delicate style – offering a relaxed, enjoyable sip, perfect for any time of day or night. So, if you’re looking to reduce your alcohol intake while still enjoying a delicious glass of wine, Selection 23 Breeze strikes the perfect balance.
The front label of Selection 23 Breeze beautifully mirrors the artistic interpretation of the Zilzie property depicted on our Selection 23 labels – but with a softer, more delicate touch, just like the wine.
*Selection 23 Breeze wines contain at least 25% less alcohol and calories than the equivalent varietal from the Zilzie Selection 23 collection.
