VINTAGE 2021La Nina had a major influence on the 2020/21 growing season.Tahbilk experienced good rainfall post 2020 vintage, and regular rainfall through the year. 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 is rated a very good, to potentially stellar vintage.

Five Estate varietals are blended here to represent each of the five generations of Purbrick family involvement on the Estate .... a bright, expressive and totally delicious ‘Five Generations’ Red.
Representing the five generations of Purbrick family involvement on the Estate the winemaking team have drawn on the individual character of each of the five varietals that are blended here to deliver a white that resonates with lifted citrus, tropical and stone fruit characters. Textured and bright with dazzling acidity … a wine for all gens!
The stellar rated 2021 vintage has delivered a Cabernet Sauvignon where it is the richness of fruit that resonates. Deep cassis, mint and dark plum aromas and flavours are nuanced with bay leaf, black olive and clove notes.
This Estate Shiraz sets a high bar for richness and complexity. Bright and expressive spice and savoury notes swirl deliciously through a deeply flavoured dark plum and berry fruits palate supported by supple, chewy tannins.
