WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Jacob's Creek Lighter Alcohol Shiraz involves destemming and crushing the grapes, followed by fermentation in tanks within a controlled temperature range of 18-28°C. A key step in achieving the lighter alcohol profile is the subsequent filtration of a portion of the wine. Grapes are selected from vineyards known for early ripeness and lower sugar levels, with harvesting timed for cooler night hours. The use of lighter glass bottles is also noted as a practice contributing to sustainability.
