Pinot Noir grapes were crushed and cold-soaked prior to
fermentation in stainless steel tanks with sweep arms for
5 to 7 days. The wine was then gently membrane pressed,
aged on French oak for 3 to 4 months, carefully blended,
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.
