The fruit was harvested in the cool of the night to maintain
freshness and quality. Fermentation took place in stainless
steel tanks at cool temperatures, with lees stirring to enhance
texture and length. The wine was blended, stabilised, filtered,
and bottled.
VINTAGE
Vintage 2025 began earlier than usual, with varieties ripening at the same time to create one of the most compact harvests in our history. Warm seasonal conditions helped the fruit reach excellent ripeness and strong varietal flavour. The wines
show bright fruit character, with bold, spicy reds and crisp,
aromatic whites.
About the range
Bulloak
The Bulloak range was named after the northern most stand of Bulloak (Buloke) trees which are situated on the Zilzie property overlooking the vineyards and winery.
The Forbes family donated this land back to the Department of Sustainability & Environment to protect the Bulloak trees and natural bio-diversity of the region for future generations.
