Description
The wine
ZBO is Zibibbo (Muscat of Alexandria) from the Bassham vineyard in the Riverland. The grapes are destemmed into wax-lined clay amphorae and plunged twice a day until fermentation ends and the skins sink. The amphorae are then sealed, and the wine sits on its skins and seeds for six months, protected by a layer of flor. The following spring, the free-run wine is drained off and blended with a portion of the pressings.
Tasting notes
Orange blossom, dried apricot and grapey Muscat perfume, with a textured, gently tannic palate and a dry, savoury finish.
How to enjoy
Serve lightly chilled, at 10–12°C. Try it with L'Artisan Mountain Man, Aphrodite Halloumi PDO or Guindilla piparra peppers.
