Zema Estate Family Selection Cabernet 2005
	The cream of the Zema crop and a big family secret, that this outstanding wine is produced in extremely limited quantities. Zema is proudly traditional in its approach to sustainable vineyard practices, controlling crop levels and hand pruning the vines. These practices are enhanced by the family’s three strategically selected vineyard locations, capitalising on the regions subtle variations. Family Selection has all the characteristics of a classic Coonawarra Cabernet, concentrated, in a fuller style, with a big palate and exceptional balance Coonawarra
	Each $39.99 Dozen $479.88	Coonawarra is well renowned for its remarkable Terra rossa, a thin metre of soil overlaying a deep formation of limestone, which yields the richest Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Zema have applied old world traditions of site selection to identify the locations most suitable to viticulture. It all begins in the vineyard, as fruit is closely monitored throughout the ripening. The most outstanding parcels are selected for their intensity and varietal flavour. Family Selection is vinified under strictly controlled temperatures for seven days with part barrel fermentation to enhance complexity. Maturation in small French oak casks for two years has achieved a vibrant wine with complex flavours and profound richness. Alcohol 15.5%
	Vibrant deep purple colour with brick red hues. Ripe dark berry aromas, a hint of mint supported by cassis and nutty oak. A full and flavoursome palate displaying intense ripe dark fruit, mint and refined cedary French oak. Full bodied, exhibits a memorable, enduring finish to fine grained, lingering tannins. Vigorous and well structured, long on flavour, nicely developed and already drinking extremely well. "Complex blackcurrant, fruitcake, and oak on the nose. Masses of mouth fruit but remarkably restrained with long, building, dry dusty tannins. Cedariness and crystallised fruit!" -Financial Review. This is delicious. Screams quality. You can't mistake it for anything other than a top rate Cabernet!" -theWiningpro.com

Cluny captures the mood, the feel and the presence of a fine Medoc, a masterfully fashioned cepage of pure alchemy, magically brought forward through the addition of Malbec and patient ageing in smaller oak barrels. "The Zema boys have been making varietal Coonawarra wine in the family tradition since 1982 and this blended style is a real team player with a vibrant attack. Bright cassis, blueberry, varietal leafiness with soft, cedary follow through!" -Adelaide Magazine

Zema Estate Shiraz 2005

[ More info ]

Grown to the rich Coonawarra Terra rossa soils, Zema is renowned for remarkable Shiraz, wines of eddifying charm and character. "I can’t imagine too many people finding this anything other than lovely. It’s rich with cedar, mulberry and saturated plum flavours, it’s vanillan oak overcoating simply helping to keep the ride as smooth as possible. It’s beautifully ripe and beautifully pure, and it drinks like a charm. Warm alcohol? Maybe. I was enjoying it too much to really notice. It’ll age but I reckon it’s best consumed young.!" -Winefront.com.au
