Collection: Zonzo Estate | Yarra Valley

Zonzo Estate is one of the Yarra Valley's most creative and distinctive wine producers — a winery that combines a deep commitment to cool-climate winemaking with a restless Italian-inspired spirit that has produced some of the most original wines and aperitivo drinks in Australia. Located in the Yering subregion of the Yarra Valley, approximately 50 kilometres east of Melbourne, Zonzo Estate is a producer that consistently surprises, delights, and rewards.

Why Zonzo Estate Matters

Zonzo Estate's identity is built on two complementary pillars: exceptional cool-climate wines from the Yarra Valley, and a genuine commitment to Italian heritage that runs through everything the estate produces — from the Scoperta range of Italian varieties to the pioneering aperitivo drinks that have become some of the most talked-about products in the Australian drinks market.

The Scoperta range — Italian for 'to discover' — explores Italian grape varieties sourced from Victoria's finest Italian variety regions: King Valley and Heathcote. Pinot Grigio, Barbera, Sangiovese, and Sagrantino are crafted in small batches with a winemaking approach that honours the Italian tradition while expressing the unique character of their Victorian origins. The Scoperta Sagrantino received 93 Points from Phillip Rich in the Halliday Wine Companion.

The aperitivo range represents an equally bold creative vision. In February 2023, Zonzo Estate launched Zoncello — the world's first commercially bottled Limoncello Spritz — turning an Italian coastal cocktail tradition into a ready-to-drink phenomenon and one of the most successful new drinks launches in Australia. The Cicchio Pistacchio Spritz — the world's first pistachio spritz — followed as another genuinely original Zonzo creation.

Zonzo Estate & the Yarra Valley

The Yarra Valley's cool climate provides the foundation for Zonzo Estate's winemaking philosophy. Located in the Yering subregion, the estate produces Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Prosecco, and Rosé that reflect the region's natural acidity, aromatic intensity, and elegance. The Yarra Valley is one of Australia's most celebrated cool-climate wine regions — the first established in Victoria, with a history of viticulture stretching back to the 1830s. Its cool, maritime-influenced climate and diverse soils create ideal conditions for the wines of finesse and complexity that define the Zonzo Estate style.
