Z WINE (Z for Zerk) is the creation of dynamic sisters Janelle and Kristen Zerk. With over 170 years of Barossa heritage behind them they grew up together in the Barossa Valley on a vineyard that has been in the Zerk family for five generations.
The [AVELINE] Rosé is hand-picked from 70 year old vine Grenache and soaked on skins for 22 hours before gently pressing and a cool ferment on a small amount of solids.
This wine displays fragrant aromatics of red apple, strawberry and cranberry with hints of violet. The palate is perfectly balanced with seductive red fruit and crisp acidity. Serve chilled with spicy foods and on summer days.

The [ROMAN] is blended from centenarian bush vine Grenache, which brings perfume and cinnamon spice to the fore; Shiraz adds structure and dark chocolate flavours coupled with a dense layer of dark berries from Mataro.
The depth and complexity comes from the vineyard and with our careful blending of these three varietals they simply compliment each other. No new oak is used to ensure that we retain the fruit characteristic in the final blend. Serve with Peking duck, quinoa and braised venison or any game meats.

The [JULIUS] Shiraz was carefully produced from an amazingly concentrated vintage in 2018 which has resulted in this beautifully crafted boutique Barossa Valley Shiraz. Brooding forest berry fruits are married seamlessly with structural oak support and dark chocolate tannins with hints of vanilla.
We recommend indulging in this opulent Shiraz with aged cheeses or an eye fillet with a red wine reduction. Decanting 3-6 hours before drinking will open up and intensify this outstanding wine.
