A Six Pack that celebrates both the Purbrick family's 100 years at Tahbilk along with the due recognition to the varietal that most speaks of the Estate ... Marsanne.

About this winei

One of the world’s rarest grape varieties with its origins in the Northern Rhone and Hermitage regions of France, Tahbilk has some of the oldest vines and largest single holding of Marsanne in the world.
Tahbilk’s history with Marsanne can be traced back to the 1860’s with the sourcing of ‘White Hermitage’ cuttings from the ‘St Huberts’ Vineyard in Victoria’s Yarra Valley. The cuttings were in fact Marsanne but sadly none of these plantings have survived. The Estate still does however produce Marsanne from vines established in 1927 – some of the oldest in the world.
Tahbilk Marsanne has a dedicated global following due to its thrilling character and appeal as a young wine with intense lemon, citrus and tropical fruits on a crisp mineral edged finish.
It’s proven ability to develop added complexity and character if cellared, when rich honeysuckle and citrus marmalade characters come to the fore, has led to the Purbrick family to set aside small quantities of each vintage to be then made available when bottle-aged.
As a young wine Marsanne is very much a 'universal-soldier' when it comes to food matches but certainly light Mediterranean and Asian dishes would be well up that list.
As it ages then its more full-bodied character would lend itself very well to richer and deeper flavoured white meat and seafood curries and stews.

 
Tasting Notei

Tahbilk 2015 Centennial Marsanne
Enjoy Now to 2035/2040 | 12.0% Alcohol
A multiple award-winning vintage for Marsanne, the fruit for this totally captivating release is sourced from vines with an average age of 90 years.
It is distinguished by true to varietal lemon citrus, spice and tropical fruits, a delightful minerality and crunchy fresh acidity.
Time has allowed the development of added complexity, notably signature honeysuckle and toasty characters.

Tahbilk 2024 Marsanne
Enjoy Now to 2032/2034 | 12.5% Alcohol
Whilst presenting its own challenges as whites and reds ripened together bringing on a mad rush, vintage 2024 delivered very good to outstanding wines.
The fruit intensity of our 2024 Marsanne is signature to this unique varietal ... lifted citrus and tropical fruits are framed by a bright minerality with delicious toast and honeysuckle richness undoubtedly coming with age.
