Tahbilk was established in 1860 and purchased by the Purbrick family in 1925. As original as the Estate itself, these un-grafted, pre-phylloxera shiraz plantings are amongst the oldest in the world and were nominated by renowned USA Wine & Spirits magazine as one of the 25 Great Vineyards of the World. The vineyards selected were those where the terroir – the total environment of a place, including soil, climate, aspect, vine and even history “is most clearly perceptible in the wine.” An ideal special occasion wine.
