For optimal freshness and quality, the fruit was harvested at
night when temperatures were cooler. Each batch was
cool-fermented in stainless steel, with lees stirring to build
length and roundness on the palate. The wine was then
blended, stabilised, and filtered before bottling.
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.
