Harvested in cool night conditions, the fruit underwent cool fermentation in
stainless steel. Lees stirring contributed roundness to the palate, followed
by blending, stabilising, and filtering prior to bottling.
VINTAGE
Vintage 2025 commenced earlier than anticipated, with varieties ripening
simultaneously to create one of the most compact harvests in our history.
Warm conditions during vintage supported development and brought the
fruit to excellent ripeness with clear varietal expression. The wines
showcase vibrant varietal flavours, featuring bright, spicy reds and fresh,
aromatic whites.
About the range
Selection 23 Breeze
Introducing Selection 23 Breeze ā a lighter twist on our beloved Selection 23 wines. Designed for those who prefer a lower-alcohol option, āBreezeā delivers the same flavour and quality you love, with a refreshingly lighter feel.*
We begin by crafting a full-strength wine, carefully selecting parcels with intense aromas and flavours. Then, we gently reduce the alcohol to the desired level of 8.0-9.5%, without using heat or harsh processes that might compromise the wine. This allows the aromas and flavours to truly shine.
The Selection 23 Breeze range looks, smells, and tastes just like wine should, but in a lighter, more delicate style ā offering a relaxed, enjoyable sip, perfect for any time of day or night. So, if youāre looking to reduce your alcohol intake while still enjoying a delicious glass of wine, Selection 23 Breeze strikes the perfect balance.
The front label of Selection 23 Breeze beautifully mirrors the artistic interpretation of the Zilzie property depicted on our Selection 23 labels ā but with a softer, more delicate touch, just like the wine.
*Selection 23 Breeze wines contain at least 25% less alcohol and calories than the equivalent varietal from the Zilzie Selection 23 collection.
