The 2019 vintage in Langhorne Creek has produced magnificent quality across the board. Annual rainfall was below average with the month of December seeing the highest rainfall for the year, this helped set up lush canopies for the hot and dry summer ahead. The summer conditions encouraged a swift harvest to capture natural acidity and fresh fruit flavours. Lower than average yields were experienced across the region, with excellent wines produced.

Expert Reviews

Perky acidity is the driver although the tang and zest of the fruit starts to pull its weight mid-way. Wafts of blue and red berries, violets and a smidge of dark chocolate infused with mint. It's really refreshing and while on the leaner side, it's best in its youth anyway. - Jane Faulkner

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.
