The vineyards are situated on granitic sand and rock, which give the wine notable terroir. Tonnages were kept low, (approximately 1.5 tonnes\/acre) to allow for maximum quality and flavour. The must was placed in small open pot fermenters and allowed to ferment naturally. I then hand plunged the pots every 8 hours for the duration of the ferment. Once the ferment was dry, the resulting wine was pressed off the skins and given time to settle before allowing a natural secondary fermentation to commence.

Notwithstanding the challenges this presented for the vineyard team, who worked diligently to get their sprays on as required, the frequent rain days ensured the vineyards looked healthy and vibrant, with no disease or growth issues. The effects of La Nina contributed to a cool to warm, but not hot summer, which meant a slow and steady ripening. By mid-March we’d picked all of the whites with all very promising – Marsanne in particular. We’d also picked some reds by mid-March, mostly for Rosé, however daily light showers that followed had us all nervously waiting for the rain to stop so we could start picking the reds in earnest. The rain did stop and, after a lull in ripening, the reds jumped in sugar and the Winery staff were flat out keeping up with the picking. For a vintage that looked touch and go quite a few times, 2021 will be rated a very good, to potentially stellar, vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEstablished 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 with the Estate 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 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e18 months in a mix of new and older French and American oak hogsheads and larger format casks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boutinot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50913314668861,"sku":null,"price":209.97,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/9211\/5773\/files\/TahbilkShirazNVMagnum1.5L_Australia.jpg?v=1761681957"},{"product_id":"tahbilk-the-tower-marsanne-2024-australia","title":"Tahbilk The Tower Marsanne 2024 (Australia)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis beautifully balanced release expresses notes of lemon and lime with a touch of jasmine, all highlighted by an intense palate of citrus and stone fruits on a fresh mineral finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEstablished in 1860, Tahbilk Estate is one of Australia’s most beautiful and historic properties situated in the Nagambie Lakes region of Central Victoria. Francois Coueslant - winemaker at Tahbilk from 1877 - is remembered for his extensive writing on viticulture as well as his design of the now iconic pagoda - style lookout tower. Built in 1882, Tahbilk’s iconic tower played an integral role to early winemaking, gravity feeding the crushed grapes to the fermenters and cellars below. It also provided a point of elevation in an otherwise flat landscape from which vineyard workers and their supervisors could be observed. The winery has been proudly carbon balanced since 2012, promoting sustainable farming alongside the production of exceptional quality wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 season resulted in the whites and reds ripening at the same time, which brought the organised chaos of vintage once again, upon the winery.
