Winemaking Notes

The fruit for the Levant Shiraz was hand-picked and sorted, and mostly de-stemmed to retain intact whole berries that were tipped to five open vats. A measured amount of stalks were added back to complement aroma, complexity and tannin, reflecting Levantine Hill's commitment to quality and attention to detail. Fermentation and cuvaison lasted between 10 and 21 days, allowing optimal extraction whilst preserving the fruit's natural elegance and varietal character. This careful approach ensures the wine showcases aromatic white pepper, cloves, cardamom and ginger alongside luscious Damson plums, with high-quality oak integration providing structure without overwhelming the ripe red and black fruit flavours. The result is a rich and complex Yarra Valley Shiraz defined by fine acidity and youthful tannins, with complementary herbal and meaty undertones adding depth and sophistication. The finish is exceptionally deep and full of flavour, reflecting the meticulous winemaking and quality of hand-picked fruit.
