Alcohol percentage: 12%
Grape variety:
100% Marsanne – one of the key grapes (along with Roussanne) in the northern Rhône.
Producer:
Ultra traditional producer from the Nagambie Lakes in central Victoria, the Purbrick family have been producing wine since 1925.
Jancis Robinson explains the key point:
“It’s usually elevation that (by moderating temperatures) denotes quality wine regions in central Victoria, but not here. The name Tahbilk originates from tabilk-tabilk, the local Aboriginal name for ‘place of many water holes’. The waterways of the Nagambie Lakes make this the only Australian wine region whose climate is markedly influenced by an inland water mass, dropping the temperature by a good three degrees Celsius. Tahbilk sits on 11 km (7 miles) of Goulburn River frontage and 8 km of backwaters and creeks.”
The Bottle Shop rating:
A taste of maturity – nutty, spicy, complex.
