Established in 1982, Zema Estate is a small family owned and operated winery located in the heart of Australia's Coonawarra wine region. The Zema family is proudly traditional in the 'vine to wine' process, from hand pruning and dry land viticulture through to bottling and packaging our wine on-site.

 

The Zema Estate range of Coonawarra wines have been hand crafted for your enjoyment and are renowned for their consistency, intense rich fruit and excellent varietal definition.

 

 

Zema Estate wines were featured in a promotion of the Penola township and the Coonawarra wine region at a function held by the Australian Ambassador to the Holy See, Tim Fisher, in Rome on Australia Day 2010. This was a very exciting opportunity for the Zema family, Zema Estate wines and the Coonawarra wine region. Please click here to download the Coonawarra Vignerons Association media release.
