Machined-picked, crushed, destemmed, cultured yeast, maturation in French oak (50% new) for 20 months. It's hard to argue against the beauty, the vibrancy of fruit, the buoyant mood this wine puts you in; the concentrated cabernet blackberry and spice, the whiff of Coonawarra bay leaf, white pepper and the defining tannins that draw in tight. So I won't.

The ‘cream of the crop’, the Family Selection wines represent the very best fruit, hand selected from the three Zema vineyard locations for intensity of flavour and varietal definition. Bigger and bolder than the Estate range, the Family Selection has richness and complexity, structure and depth of fruit, with a cellaring potential of at least a decade.
