Zilzie Mystery Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 (12 x 750mL) SA

Description:

Winemaking

Fruit was selected from premium Coonawarra vineyards, crushed and underwent fermentation for two weeks on skins. Following fermentation the must was gently pressed before being transferred to oak. The wine was matured in French oak before blending and bottling. The resulting wine has excellent depth with integrated oak.

Vintage

The 2018 Coonawarra vintage generally delivered superb conditions, leading to fruit of outstanding quality being harvested. The winter and spring rainfall leading into 2018 was excellent at 20% above long-term averages. The winter was cold delivering a good dormancy. The yields were moderate and the slow cool ripening was very even, delivering fruit with fine tannins and strong varietal flavours.

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.
