Nillumbik Estate have been producing award winning Yarra Valley wines for many years. The vinification techniques are ancient and very natural, handed down the generations by forebears from the old world. Volumes are kept small and the attention to detail is very high, the work is all done by hand as good winemaking cannot be done by machine to achieve the highest quality. The best parcels of Shiraz grapes are sorted and crushed before inoculation and the onset of fermentation in traditional vessels, closely monitored for the maximum extraction of flavours and tannin. The finished wine is matured up to eighteen months in a selection of new and serasoned, exclusively French oak barriques. Alcohol 14.5%
