Zilzie Regional Collection Pinot Gris 2019 (6 x 750mL) Adelaide Hills, SA

Description:

WINEMAKING

Fruit selected from the Adelaide Hills region was harvested at night and gently pressed in order to minimise phenolic extraction in the juice. The juice was then cold settled and cool fermented in stainless steel with yeast strains selected to enhance the natural varietal characters. A portion of the wine was fermented in oak to add spice and complexity, this was further matured in contact with the yeast lees to build structure and interest.

VINTAGE

The Adelaide Hills region managed to escape the influence of extreme heat which was seen across the rest of Australia, the yield produced in 2019 was about 50% of what was produced in the previous season. The region only experienced two short heatwaves of 4 days with cooler conditions between heat spikes, which allowed vines to fully recover; this, combined with a mild autumn, resulted in good flavour and colourdevelopment,though with a small crop..

Winery Profile

After nearly three decades of growing grapes for some of Australia’s best known wine brands, the Zilzie winery was built in 1999 with the first vintage released under the Zilzie name in 2000.

The increasingly popular and distinctive Selection 23 range was introduced in 2004, while 2008 saw the re-release of our Bulloak range.

2009 has seen the culmination of many years dedication to selective vineyard sourcing deliver the “REGIONAL COLLECTION” of Zilzie wines. We’ve combed Australia’s best known wine regions, specifically targeting the varieties they excel at, for exceptional grape parcels to produce these wines.

We’ve come a long way in 10 years, with our winery tripling in capacity, and our range growing from the humble beginnings of four varieties, to now include consumer favourites such as Pinot Grigio, Moscato and Rosé.

It’s not all about size, Zilzie is also recognised for its exceptional quality, having won 27 trophies in its short history and is the only winery from our region rated 4.5 stars by James Halliday in his 2009 Wine Companion.
