Raised in Kingston, 250 km southeast of Adelaide, Kerri Zilm’s passion for agriculture eventually led her to winemaking. While studying Oenology at the University of Adelaide, she began working at O’Leary Walker Wines in the Clare Valley, sparking a lasting connection with the region. After 16 years there, she took the helm at Vickery Wines in 2018, working alongside Australian Riesling legend John Vickery and continuing his legacy. With nearly two decades of experience in the Clare Valley, Kerri launched her own boutique label, Miss Zilm, producing wines that reflect the purity of the region and the work of its dedicated growers. Her vibrant labels, inspired by meaningful years in her life, reflect her belief that wine should be as emotive as colour itself

Fiano fruit for this wine comes from a single vineyard in Auburn where the variety was grafted on to 30-year-old Riesling vines. Thriving in terra rossa over limestone soils, these vines are vigorous with a healthy canopy, which helps them withstand the heat and dry summer conditions. Following harvest and fermentation, the wine remained on yeast lees with a small portion in seasoned oak for four months for added complexity.

Notes of ripe apples and dried spice. Flinty and complex.
Medium bodied with beautifully intense flavours. Textural with notes of
lemongrass and zesty, bright natural acidity.
