Zonzo Estate Zoncello Limoncello Spritz
Zonzo Estate is nestled in the heart of Yarra Valley's picturesque landscape, Zonzo Estate is a family-owned and operated winery that exemplifies Italian passion and dedication to crafting exceptional wines.
Founded in 2007, Zonzo Estate reflects the owners' Italian roots. They specialize in creating wines that are inspired by traditional Italian varietals like Sangiovese, Fiano, and Ansonica. However, these wines are not simply replicas – they are unique expressions that capture the essence of the Yarra Valley terroir. Zonzo Estate adheres to a philosophy of minimal intervention winemaking. They believe in allowing the quality of the grapes to take center stage. By limiting intervention and utilizing large 3000-liter oak fermenters, they achieve a lower oak-to-wine ratio, which preserves the grapes' natural character and lets the unique flavours of the Yarra Valley shine through.
Beyond exceptional wines, Zonzo Estate is dedicated to environmental responsibility. They are actively working towards achieving 100% sustainability in their operations. This commitment is evident in their practices, which may include sustainable viticulture techniques, water conservation efforts, and the use of recycled materials.
Inspired by the flavours of Italy, this refreshing Limoncello Spritz was made for sun-drenched afternoons outdoors with friends and family. The Limoncello has been handmade from locally sourced lemons, steeped in alcohol for two months to extract all the wonderful citrus aromas. Sugar was then added and allowed to rest for another two months. Prosecco was then added to the Limoncello and the sugar levels reduced. Citric acid was then added to ensure the final product was fresh and zingy.
Limoncello and combined it with Prosecco to create the perfect Spritz - zesty, refreshing and delicious! Serve chilled over ice with a slice of fresh lemon and some mint. Perfect for any occasion.
