Zema own a precious slice of Coonawarra's remarkable Terra rossa, a thin metre of soil over deep formation of limestone, whence to source limited harvests of world class Shiraz. Family Selection is a small batch wine of great intensity and exceptional depth, superior concentration and maximum development. Spicy pepper and sweet berry fruit flavours abound, before a lingering finish on a length of firm oaky tannins, a fuller style of Shiraz with excellent balance, profound structure, elegance and poise.
The dedicated Zema family are proudly traditional in their approach to viticulture, favouring hand pruning and dry growing vines to maximise quality. These practices are enhanced by the Zema team's three strategically selected prime vineyard locations, capitalising on Coonawarra's subtle climactic variations. Shiraz is vinified for a week on skins under strict temperature controls. A portion is barrel fermented to enhance complexity. Components are matured for two years in a selection of small French and American oak barrels, fully integrating the fruit, tannins and oak into a vibrant rich wine with profound bouquet and attractive flavours.
TASTING NOTES
Rich purple colour with hints of red. Attractive with plum, dark black pepper and subtle spicy notes supported by notes of nutty, toasted oak. Concentrated varietal flavours of plum fruit with fine tannin roundness and persistence, emphasized by stylish vanillin oak. Zema recommend a glass of Family Selection with braised beef cheeks, pork belly or ripe, hard cheese.

More About Zema Estate Wines
Grape growing and winemaking has been a large part of the Zema Family history and heritage dating back to the 1800s
Matteo Zema opened the first wine bar/tavern in Armo, Reggio Calabria in 1835, much to the angst of the local authorities at the time. Although the tavern no longer exists, it was this legacy and a passion for wine that has been passed down from generation to generation. After migrating to Australia, Nicola Zema started working for Wynns in 1953, hand pruning, picking and planting, a job that continued through until his retirement in 1975. Zema Estate»
