Product Description

Zilzie Wines is a fourth-generation family-owned and operated winery, with a long-standing focus on producing approachable Australian wines. The Lot 66 Shiraz is made in a rich, fruit-forward style that combines ripe dark fruit with subtle oak and soft tannins, making it an easy-drinking Australian Shiraz for both casual occasions and meals.

Region and Vintage
The 2023 Lot 66 Shiraz comes from South Eastern Australia, a broad wine-growing region known for producing generous, fruit-driven Shiraz. The wine shows the ripe berry character associated with the variety, balanced by gentle oak, smooth tannins and a lingering finish.

Winemaking Style
Lot 66 is crafted to be rich, approachable and fruit-forward, with the fruit kept at the centre of the wine. Subtle vanilla and toasted oak add another layer, while soft, silky tannins give the palate structure without making the wine feel heavy.

The result is a Shiraz that is ready to enjoy now, with the option to cellar it for the short term.
