Iconic wines from Tahbilk

Tahbilk is an iconic winery, the oldest in Victoria (established in 1860), and boasts some of the oldest ungrafted, pre-phylloxera Shiraz vines in the world, as well as the largest acreage of Marsanne vines. The name Tahbilk derives from the Indigenous word "Tabilk-tabilk," meaning "place of many watering places." The vineyards are located in a unique subregion of central Victoria. Formerly known as Chateau Tahbilk, Tahbilk (as it is now known) has long been associated with the Purbrick family, passed down through five generations. Eric Stephens Purbrick, the former winemaker, revitalized the estate and reinvigorated the quality of its wines after taking over in 1931. The Viognier grapes come from the Nagambie Lakes vineyard. It is one of only six regions in the world where the mesoclimate of the vineyards is significantly influenced by the abundance of inland water. Numerous lakes and rivers create a cooler climate. 235 hectares of vines are planted in the unique red sandy loam soils with high iron oxide content found in only one other location in Victoria.

What does Tahbilk Viognier taste like?

Tahbilk Viognier is a golden wine that exudes enchanting apricot notes from its aromatic bouquet. The opulent palate is rich with zesty and herbaceous flavors of grapefruit and nectarine. The grape's characteristic oiliness is fully expressed on the palate, yet there's plenty of acidity to balance the weight and fruity aromas. Notes of ginger and white pepper remain on the finish. It pairs wonderfully with smoked trout pâté, grilled chicken, and various soft cheeses.
