Zilzie Selection 23 Rose 2020 (12 x 750mL) SEA

Description:

WINEMAKING

Select parcels of Shiraz and Sangiovese grapes were de-stemmed and crushed, with the juice and skins quickly separated to ensure a delicate pink colour. The juice was fermented cold in stainless steel using an aromatic yeast strain. A small amount of residual sugar was left in the wine to balance the acidity on the palate. These parcels were blended with a small portion of Pinot Grigio to add freshness and achieve the desired colour. The wine was bottled early to maximise flavour and freshness.

VINTAGE

The 2020 growing season was characterised by dry and warm weather; although the summer had minimal rain and some of the mildest conditions seen in the past 20 years, the region enjoyed steady fruit development and low disease pressure across the board. Whilst some strong winds during flowering reduced crop levels, our 2020 wines have distinctive varietal flavours with bright, spicy reds and clean, aromatic whites.

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.
