Winemaker Notes
Harvesting the grapes during the cool night hours meticulously preserved their inherent freshness and quality. Following this, each individual batch underwent a controlled cool fermentation process within stainless steel vessels, with skilled guidance to maintain the essence of each varietal. The subsequent enhancement involved stirring the lees, adding a sense of length and rounded texture to the palate. This careful process led to a precise blending phase, harmonising the diverse elements into a cohesive whole. Further steps encompassed meticulous stabilisation of the wine and introduction of lemon lees, contributing an additional layer of complexity. The wine then underwent thorough filtration, guaranteeing its consistent quality before being prepared for bottling.

Zilzie Selection 23 Sparkling
About the Range
The Selection 23 range of wines pays tribute to the original block of land where our story first started in the early 1900s. 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.
