All were hand-picked and sorted then destemmed to retain intact whole berries (a portion crushed on top) and tipped to open vats. A judicious amount of stalks were added back to complement aroma, complexity and tannin. Fermentation and time on skins lasted between 10 and 21 days with the ferment temperature reaching 32°C. Vats were hand-plunged or turned over a maximum of once per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"desc\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLevantine Hill \u003c\/strong\u003ehas been recognized as the #2 winery in Australia in The Real Review’s 2026 Top Wineries of Australia, one of the country’s most respected benchmarks of wine quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis recognition reflects the consistency, precision and uncompromising standards found across our entire portfolio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine is part of that same pursuit of excellence, crafted from our Yarra Valley vineyards and recognized among the finest wines in Australia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine is suitable for vegans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e750 ml bottle\u003cbr\u003e13.0 alc\/vol\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Riviera Wine \u0026 Spirits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50432807403623,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/3646\/3719\/files\/levantine-hill-levant-shiraz-bottle.png?v=1791827971","url":"https:\/\/rivierawineco.com\/products\/levantine-hill-levant-shiraz","provider":"Riviera Wine \u0026 Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
