Byrne Old Vine Zibibbo 2020 (6x 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. The lead up to the 2020 vintage was dry with lower than average rainfall, leading to smaller bunches and berries of grapes with an increased intensity of flavour. Daily temperatures early to mid April were cooler than average which gave the grapes lifted fruit aromas and flavours while maintaining natural acidity. The low yielding fruit was gently pressed, cold settled and racked into ferment.

Byrne family 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.
