Merlot, Selection 23 - 2005 - Zilzie Estate
Ref: A209005
This wine has floral, black cherry flavours with soft herbal undertones. Silky tannins make this a youthful, easy drinking wine that has a soft and elegant finish.

Zilzie Wines Pty Ltd is a private company wholly owned by the Forbes family located at Karadoc, in North West Victoria. The family, fourth generation farmers, have resided and farmed on the Karadoc property ‘Zilzie Estate’ since 1911. Ian and Ros Forbes currently run Zilzie Estate with their two sons Steven and Andrew.

The origin of the name ‘Zilzie’ can be traced back through the Forbes’ Scottish heritage, where the name given to the property in 1911, translates to First Home. Whilst the Estate has seen a diversity of farming activities through the generations, from sheep and cattle, cereal growing and vegetable production, it presently constitutes one of the most successful family grape growing businesses in the Mildura region. The Forbes family has been a part of the district for nearly one hundred years and is determined to be a part of the local wine industry in the long term through the coming generations.

The property currently has over 1,500 acres under vine producing high quality premium grape varieties. The Forbes family are the largest suppliers of premium fruit in the district to Southcorp Wines. The state of the art vineyards, with computer controlled drip irrigation, integrated pest and disease management practices and a total commitment by management to quality grape production produces some of the best grapes in the district. The soils are sandy loam over limestone; the topography is undulating with sweeping views of vineyards and native scrubland.
