Zonzo Pecorino 2024 (6x 750mL)

Winery Tasting Notes

This one’s a bit of a rare gem - Pecorino isn’t something you see every day in Australia, but we’re so glad winemaker Caroline Mooney decided to run with it. It’s got a wild charm to it: zesty and bright with lemon and green pear, rounded out by ginger spice, buttery pastry, and a hint of almond and orange peel. As it opens, you might catch soft rose and a savoury, almost nutty texture that lingers. It’s super layered - fresh and clean, but with a silky, generous mouthfeel that gives it a real presence. While Zonzo is rooted in the Yarra Valley, this Pecorino comes from Heathcote - an area more known for big reds than vibrant Italian whites, which makes this wine all the more exciting. It’s picked early to lock in brightness and freshness, then treated gently in both tank and a touch of oak.
