Tahbilk Grenache Mourvedre Rose 2022

Established in 1860, Tahbilk is located in the premium central Victorian viticultural region of Nagambie Lakes. Purchased by Reginald Purbrick in 1925, five generations of the Purbrick family have been actively involved in Tahbilk bringing a tradition of pride, hard work and a love of good wine to their unique heritage of being the oldest family owned winery and vineyard in Victoria.

Tahbilk Shiraz 2018

Tahbilk Shiraz is sourced from nearly 30 hectares of vines planted at various times from the 1930s through the early 2000s. Crafted with a commitment to traditional wine making values, fermentation takes place in original open vats over 155 years old, with maturation then in similarly aged large French oak prior to bottling. Smaller predominantly French oak barrels are also used, with the wine from these blended back during the final filtering and bottling. The resultant releases are noted as being fruit-driven wines of much flavour and substance, proven over the years to develop added character when cellared.

Tahbilk Rousanne 2021

Tahbilk’s relationship with the varietals that call France’s Rhone Valley home can be traced back to our earliest days with a good deal of fortuitous luck leading to the establishment of that connection rather than a grand plan looking ahead over 160 years!
Prior to taking possession of what would become the Tahbilk Estate, one of the directors placed an advertisement in the leading newspapers of Melbourne, Geelong, Adelaide and Sydney for 1,000,000 vines. This resulted in the Tabilk Vineyard Company (as we were known then) receiving around 600,000 vine cuttings, among which was the white ‘Rhone’ varietal, Marsanne. Marsanne being the solo ‘Rhone’ whites’ flag-waver for the Estate ended in 1990 with the successful planting of Viognier and Roussanne.

Tahbilk Eric Stevens Purbrick Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Purchased by Reginald Purbrick in 1925, his son Eric took over management of Tahbilk in 1931. Heading to winemaking for over 40 vintages before handing over to his grandson Alister in 1978, Eric was one of the early pioneers of varietal labelling in Australia and continued to be a strong influence in the direction of the estate until his passing in 1991. Perhaps his greatest contribution to Tahbilk was to create the "Special Bin" Shiraz in 1948 which was to be made, and continues to be made, from the best vats of a particular vintage. In 1952 a ‘Special Bin’ Cabernet Sauvignon was added to the range with both releases becoming known as ‘Reserve’ in 1985.  In recognition of his achievements, these 'best of a vintage’ wines now carry his name and signature … Eric Stevens Purbrick.

Tahbilk Roussanne Marsanne Viognier 2018

A seamless textural wine with notes of spice and ginger, rose petal florals and lifted citrus fruits. The palate has persistent lemon zest and stone fruits with a delicious mineral edge. Further complexity will be realised with medium-term cellaring of between six to eight years from vintage.

Tahbilk 1927 Vines Marsanne 2015

Produced from the Estates 1927 planted Marsanne vines  some of the oldest in the world. The fruit is harvested early at high natural acid levels, no chemicals are added and the juice becomes fully oxidised. The clean juice is then fermented at 11 to 15C with the resultant wine water white, with high acid and flavourless. The wine is bottled and then the magic happens. It evolves into a wonderful, textural, mineral wine ... its a classic ugly duckling to beautiful swan story. Alister Purbrick ~ Winemaker & 4th Generation.
