Specially selected Shiraz grapes were fermented in both
rotary and static fermenters. After a skin fermentation period
of seven to ten days, the wine was gently pressed. It then
matured on French oak for three to six months before
blending and bottling. The resulting Shiraz showcases
exceptional depth of colour, richness, and complexity.
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
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.
