Byrne Old Vine Zibibbo 2019 (6 x 750mL) SA

Description:

Winemaking

The old vines of the Zibibbo are from our single vineyard; grown on ancient sheet limestone with red desert sand overlay and planted on our estate in the 1970s. Vintage 2019 saw hot, dry conditions which resulted in lower than average yields and with careful tendering produced this zesty wine. The concentrated flavours is evident in the grapes that were selected for their ripeness and acid balance for its first release. The low yielding fruit was gently pressed, cold settled and racked into ferment. A portion was influenced by seasoned French oak. The majority was tank fermented to retain varietal freshness. The zippy flavours and rich textures were woven together, resulting in medium to full-bodied white wine of complexity, layered with intriguing characters for a well balanced and lingering palate.

Byrne Family Australia wines express our family’s dedication to the land and our vines. Celebrating over 50 years and three generations, with the strength of our heritage we honour the generations past and yet to come.

These Byrne Family wines deliver richness and complexity and are lovingly crafted into the highest quality wines throughout the harvest to optimise the flavour and character balance.

Winery Profile

Brand Profile Image

Experienced wine exporters, vignerons and domestic wine sellers. The Byrne difference is quality focused, innovative and estate grown wines from grape to glass.

Celebrating 60 years and 4 generations, the Byrne family range of wines express our dedication to sustainability and land regeneration practices, with our ethos to minimise harm and maximise benefits to the environment.

From the banks of the Murray River in which our vineyard grows, our prized estate wines reflect the love that goes into our land, delivering richness and complexity into each glass.

It all began almost half a century ago when the first vines were planted in a spot handpicked for its stony soils over the limestone base. Combine that with the warm embrace of a dry climate and generous sunshine, and you have the perfect recipe for grape varieties bursting with flavour and resilience.
