    About this winei

    The 2023 Tahbilk Flood Blend

    At Tahbilk, we like to say that every bottle tells a story, so in that case, the stories behind this Flood Blend will be some of the best.

    It is not only the story of the wine and the season that contributes, but to me it is the story behind the Estate, the People, and how we unify when a disaster occurs.
    Back in October 2022, Tahbilk Estate bore the brunt of a 1 in 100 year flood, which affected our vines, impacted yields for the current harvest, destroyed parts of our beautiful land; but most importantly it affected us The Tahbilk team.

    This  wine to our team, is not only a representation of the season, but also speaks to the wonderful Tahbilk team. Some of the things we saw, we endured and we had to deal with at that time, are memories that will stay with us for ever. It was a moment in time, that changed us, and through all the devastation, tears and disaster, we as Tahbilk, remembered what was special to us, and you know we just got on with it.

    I have been lucky enough to make a lot of wines over the years, but I don’t think there is a wine that I have been more proud of. This wine represents resilience, determination and dedication, it represents the wonderful people here on the Estate, that I am privileged to work with on a daily basis.

    So, as you enjoy this wine, think of the season, and think of us. Thank you for your support.

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

    "The 2022 central Victorian floods put Tahbilk underwater. Made with salvaged grapes, it tells a story of time and place. With a green, grassy nose (thanks to an early desperate pick) she’s still soft with lime and pear aromas. Flavours of jalapeño, lemon pith and passionfruit follow, with splashable freshness and astringency. Made with a fruit salad of (sauvignon blanc, semillon, chardonnay, fiano, viognier, roussanne, albarino, marsanne and riesling) Exhale."

    "Very pale lemon. Aromatic with yellow stone fruit, rose water, white blossoms, passion fruit seeds, chalk, raw macadamias, yellow citrus and a touch of crab apple.
    Juicy and fresh palate, balanced by depth and weight from the Rhone varieties.
    Clean and fresh finish with chalky minerality, fine spice and bright acidity. A delicious bottle of resilience."

    Vintage Notesi

    Vintage 2023
    At Tahbilk, we like to say that every bottle tells a story, so in that case, the stories behind Vintage 2023 will be some of the most dramatic.
    In October 2022, Tahbilk Estate bore the brunt of a 1 in 100-year flood, which affected our vines, impacted yields, and affected us, the Tahbilk team. Our vines have bounced back, thankfully with no longterm damage and minimal, if any attrition. In fact, if you walk around today you couldn’t tell that over half of the vineyard had been under water. As for the team, this challenge will ultimately make us stronger.
    Then, as with every season, we were presented with a ‘normal’ set of issues around the weather, adding further to our taxing season. The summer’s heat came quickly, and the ground once full of water was dry again, so we irrigated. Then the rain came, we stopped irrigating and waited for the weather to pass.
    It then became cool, the length of the season caught up with us, and not everything ripened so sadly we ended up leaving fruit on the vines … including our iconic 1860 Shiraz!
    The yields for the season, albeit low, have produced some very fine wines that embody the demands of this season, wines that we are extremely proud of and proud to share.
    So, when you are lucky enough to drink a Tahbilk wine from the 2023 season, think of the season, and think of us.
