The grapes were de-stemmed and crushed with the juice
drained off directly to provide a delicate pink juice. The juice
was then fermented cold in stainless steel using an aromatic
yeast strain. Ripe fruit flavours balance the acidity on the
palate. These parcels were blended with a small portion of
Pinot Grigio to add freshness and achieve the desired colour. The wine was bottled early to maximise flavour and freshness.
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.
