The grapes were harvested in the cool of the night to preserve
freshness and quality. Individual batches were cool fermented
in stainless steel, with lees stirring to build length and
roundness on the palate. The wine was blended, stabilised,
left on lees, and filtered before bottling.
About the range
Selection 23
In the early 1900s Don and Ethel Forbes started a new chapter in their story, staking their family’s future on a 600 acre block of land nestled within a large sweeping bend of the mighty Murray River.
Today, the Zilzie Winery stands on Selection 23 and we remember our journey from the very first boots, and each generation that has followed since to carve their own path.
The front label artwork is an artistic interpretation of the aerial topography of the land we call home.
