To savour a wine at Zabella is to taste that choice. Wine from ground that is looked after carries a density and a clarity of its own. You will find complexity, minerality, and the balance that comes from vines grown in soil somebody has worked for years.

Alongside the Vino Vivo Immersion, tastings at the estate open the cellar onto the region. You meet the growers inside the 100km Short Circuit whose work runs parallel to ours, and the soil behind every bottle they make.

Most of the growers whose rows we have walked became friends. Many are certified biodynamic, some are not certified at all and make natural wine at a level that keeps us honest.

Every glass poured at Zabella will support a vineyard farmed for restoration.
