    "Having tasted Tahbilk Marsannes over the past 40+ years, I have gained the ability to be confident about the prospects of this label ... it will grow and grow in bottle - and in your estimation of its worth."
    James Halliday

    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.

    Don't Just Take Our Word For It ...

    "All the guesswork and proper cellaring has been taken out of the equation here, leaving you to just enjoy.
    A slightly more developed Marsanne for its age, reflecting a hot vintage. Still complex, rich and endowed with characteristic lifted honeysuckle, candied citrus, pear, waxy lemon and pear laid out warmly, elegantly across a palate still fresh with good line and length. That finish keeps on going."

    As Reviewed On Release ...

    “Central Victorian winery Tahbilk is a benchmark Marsanne producer, making pristine wines.
    The 2019 Estate Marsanne is quiet on opening, but with air, it swiftly displays finger lime aromas and plentiful juicy-lemon flavours. Furthermore, it maintains its flavour integrity once open so you can enjoy its deliciousness over several nights without any loss in quality. A consistently impressive wine and a favourite of those in the know."

    "Having tasted Tahbilk Marsannes at their release over the past 40+ years, I have gained the ability to be confident about the prospects of this label. It has Meyer lemon flavours, honeysuckle aromas and bright acidity all in balance. It will grow and grow in bottle - and in your estimation of its worth."
