WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Silverboom Special Reserve Shiraz Merlot 2024 is produced by stopping fermentation at a specific point to achieve a 15% alcohol content and a balance between concentration and sweetness. Grapes are harvested at optimal maturity to ensure intensity. The wine can be cellared for up to five years, and some aging may occur in oak for a period of three months. Taster Wine employs bulk wine transport as a sustainability practice.
