"It is almost certain there is no other single vineyard block in the world of Shiraz with each and every vine planted 155 (or more) years ago remaining in continuous production by the same owner."
James Halliday

About this winei

 The '1860 Vines' Story

As original as the Estate itself, these un-grafted, pre-phylloxera Shiraz plantings are amongst the oldest in the world.
The vines have survived Phylloxera; the vine louse that decimated Europe’s vineyards and arrived at Tahbilk in the late 1800s; as well as Mother Nature’s droughts, floods and killer frosts.

Our '1860 Vines' planting was 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.”

Wine auctioneers Langton’s Classification of Australian Wine VII lists Tahbilk’s '1860 Vines' Shiraz releases as "Outstanding", defined as the best of Australian winemaking practices, vineyard provenance and regional voice. "The exquisite and increasingly rare 1860 Vines Shiraz; typically possesses violet, herb garden, blackberry and chocolate aromas, loose-knit gravelly tannin structures, and underlying roasted walnut and chestnut notes.”

Since the 1979 vintage inaugural release under Alister Purbrick’s tutelage, these wines have become one of the world’s most sought-after wine collectables and, more importantly, sublime drinks ... super elegant and sophisticated, appropriately dressed under an adaption of an original 1870s label.

 

Tasting Notei

Tahbilk 2017 '1860 Vines' Shiraz
Befitting of a wine made from our ancient Shiraz vines, that fittingly features an adapted 1870s label, this release shows a richness of flavour combined with a sublime elegance in character.
Plum, blackberry and dark cherry fruits nestle amid dried herb, savoury and  truffle notes with 18 months in French oak giving texture and spice.
Fine grained tannins linger on a prodigiously long finish and will support time in the cellar out to 2035/2039.

Tahbilk 2018 'Eric Stevens Purbrick' Shiraz
When crafting wines from only the best Estate fruit available from a vintage noted for bright, true-to-varietal Reds with concentration and depth then the anticipation is high.
2018 ‘Eric Stevens Purbrick’ Shiraz absolutely delivers. Ripe dark and red berry fruits are nuanced with liquorice, earth and ground black pepper notes. Savoury oak characters and seamless tannins contribute a truly distinctive release.
Cellaring to 2033/2038 will realise further complexity.
