The Zilzie Wines Victorian Cabernet Sauvignon 2024 captures the strength of an outstanding growing season, where warm days, cool nights and minimal summer rainfall delivered optimally ripe fruit with clarity, depth and varietal precision. Crafted by Zilzie Wines, this modern Victorian Cabernet showcases vibrant regional character balanced by thoughtful winemaking and polished oak integration.

In the glass, the wine presents a medium red hue with a youthful purple tint, signalling freshness and energy. The nose is expressive and inviting, revealing ripe dark berries layered with subtle herbal notes and gentle oak spice. On the palate, it unfolds into a dark, juicy and beautifully layered expression of blackcurrant, mulberry and ripe plum, supported by fine velvety tannins and understated French oak influence from three to six months maturation. The texture is supple yet structured, delivering richness and complexity while maintaining balance and drinkability, with lingering oak tannins adding length and refinement through the finish.

This fruit-driven Cabernet Sauvignon is highly versatile at the table, pairing seamlessly with roast lamb, char-grilled steaks, beef burgers, slow-cooked brisket, mushroom risotto or aged cheddar, where its dark fruit core and savoury undertones shine. Approachable in its youth yet structured enough for short-term cellaring, the Zilzie Wines Victorian Cabernet Sauvignon 2024 delivers depth, elegance and exceptional everyday value in a classic Australian style.
