Selected parcels of fruit were de-stemmed and crushed, with the juice promptly separated from the skins to maintain a delicate pink tint. Individual batches were cool fermented in stainless steel, followed by lees stirring to add length and roundness to the palate. The wine was blended, stabilised, and filtered prior to bottling.
VINTAGE
Vintage 2024 presented ideal conditions for ripening grapes. The summer's combination of warm days, cool nights, and minimal rainfall led to optimally ripe fruit. This resulted in wines with distinct varietal flavours, offering bright, spicy reds and fresh, 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.
