Winemaker Notes
Harvested during the cool night hours, the fruit retained its inherent freshness and quality. The subsequent step involved cool fermentation of individual batches within stainless steel vessels, utilising aromatic yeast strains to accentuate each distinct varietal component. Following this precise fermentation process, the wine underwent a seamless blending, imparting a harmonious balance to the final composition. Further enhancements included stabilisation and filtration to ensure consistency before being bottled.

Don and Ethel Forbes took a leap of faith on a 600-acre patch nestled by the Murray River’s sweeping bend. Today, Zilzie Winery stands on Selection 23, commemorating our journey from humble beginnings to successive generations shaping their unique paths. The label art beautifully captures the aerial topography of our cherished home. Click here to watch and learn more about the Selection 23 range.
