It wouldn’t be Tahbilk without Marsanne ...
From the searingly intense new 2024, to the richer and more textural 2018 'Museum Release' and then finally the 2016 vintage of our iconic '1927 Vines' Marsanne from plantings that are amongst the oldest in the world ... this Six Pack ticks all of the Tahbilk Estate Marsanne boxes!

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 2016 '1927 Vines' Marsanne
Enjoy Now to 2045+
Displaying all the elements of the remarkable pedigree of our ‘1927 Vines’ Marsanne releases, this 2016 vintage brings penetrating straw, ginger spice and citrus fruit aromas to a still evolving palate of nashi pear, grapefruit and honeysuckle notes.
An energetic mineral acidity graces a clean and steely finish and will provide the supportive framework for greater complexity to come with extended cellaring..

Tahbilk 2018 'Museum Release' Marsanne
Enjoy Now to 2028/2033
Lemon gold in colour. The nose is mouth-watering and fresh as a daisy.
Fantastic classic Marsanne acidity shining through. Lemon and lime then lead into a nutty and marzipan characters hinting at the aging potential of this wine.

Drink now and pair with a creamy foods; (turmeric cashew chicken would work beautifully) but it is a wine to treasure for later.

Tahbilk 2024 Marsanne
Enjoy Now to 2032/2034
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.
