Zilzie Wines Victorian Pinot Noir 2020

Specially selected parcels of Pinot Noir were cold soaked for 2 days to extract the desired flavors and aromas whilst minimizing harsh tannins. Fermented on skins for 5-7 days, the wine was gently pressed and just a small portion was aged on medium toast French for a plush round wine with a subtle hint of oak. A little Merlot was added to the final blend enhancing the Pinot’s bright cherry flavors and lengthening tannins. 

Niche Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

The fruit was picked in the cool of night then fermented on skins in static potters and rotary fermenters for a period of six days to create a good balance between extracting the appropriate tannin for wine structure and retaining fruit drive and aromatics. Following the pressing process, clarification and final blending the fruit was matured with select parcels having contact with old French oak.

Normans Holbrooks Road Merlot 2022

The fruit was picked in the cool of night then fermented on skins in static potters and rotary fermenters for a period of seven days to retain as much of the luscious natural fruit flavour as possible. Warm temperatures at the early stages of fermentation along with three days of post ferment maceration helped develop soft fleshy fruit and tannins while helping build structure. Following the pressing process, clarification and final blending the fruit was matured with select parcels having oak maturation. Great to drink now, but will mature and develop complexity over the short to medium term.

Bare Necessities Shiraz 2022

The fruit was sourced from select vineyards across Langhorne Creek sub region of South Australia and picked in the cool of night. Fermentation took place with some skin contact in static potters and rotary fermenters for a period of seven days to retain a high level of fruit flavour. Warm temperatures during fermentation along with post ferment maceration helped build the fruit and tannin profile. Following the pressing process, clarification and final blending the fruit was matured with select parcels having contact with mature oak to soften the palate.
