Tahbilk 2021 Five Generations Red | 14.0% Alcohol | Enjoy Now to 2026/2028
Shiraz | Cabernet Franc | Tempranillo | Mourvèdre | Cabernet Sauvignon
Drawing on various parcels of Estate fruit from the very highly rated 2021 vintage the winemaking team have delivered a bright and expressive ‘Five Generations’ Red.
Offering spicy and expressive, dark and red berry Shiraz fruits, mulberry and herbal Cabernet Franc flavours, through to savoury and cherry Tempranillo notes, with brooding and fleshy Mourvèdre and minty, cassis Cabernet Sauvignon hints ...each variety, like the family over time, contributing its own unique character.
Tahbilk 2022 Shiraz
14.5% Alcohol | Enjoy Now to 2035/2039 Plus
A few swirls of the glass has ripe plum, blackberry and violet aromas coming through, with white pepper and boysenberry rounding out the nose.
The palate has a surprising initial softness … the tannin glides across the back. There is a tart cranberry acidity that knocks the balance off making it a little bit more crunchy drinking young but will do okay with a bit of age under its belt. Very much a cool climate style Shiraz which is reflective of the 2022 vintage.
Drink now over the next 2 years, rest for the following 3-5 years, then enjoy for the next 10 years.
Tahbilk 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon
14.0% Alcohol | Enjoy Now to 2034/2037
Vibrant purple colour in the glass. Typical herbal characters shine through on the nose; eucalyptus, spearmint and cocoa nibs alongside delicate blueberry, blackberry and subtle rose florals.
Intense fruit immediately hits the palate; fresh blueberries, wild berries and blackberries. Tannins are tight … feeling a little green and youthful ... however this will even out with time.
The acidity is atypical of the Cabernet Sauvignon varietal. Herbaceous edges with tomato and blackberry leaf. The wine’s structure has all the elements to age well in bottle. Drink now and then age 12 years and reap the benefits.
Tahbilk 2024 Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre | 14.0% Alcohol | Enjoy Now to 2028/2030
Whilst presenting its own challenges, with a mad rush of ripening, vintage 2024 delivered very good to outstanding wines, deliciously reflected here
with this juicy, multilayered triple blend.
Savoury and earthy aromatics grace a flavoursome palate of dark plum and berry fruits with liquorice and spice notes.
Tahbilk 2023 Cabernet Franc | 13.0% Alcohol | Enjoy Now to 2028/2030
This Cabernet Franc release is indicative of the wonderful depth of flavour and character of our 2023 Estate Reds … fresh raspberry, violet and tobacco notes comfortably nestle on a ripe red berry fruits palate teased out with capsicum and spice hints. In a word ... delicious!
Tahbilk 2024 Grenache | 14.0% Alcohol | Enjoy Now to 2029/2031
Teamed with Shiraz and Mourvèdre in our popular GSM blend and equally in the highly regarded Grenche Mourvèdre Rose, here we allow our Estate Grenache to stand alone and shine in its own right.
With the character that vine maturity brings, our twenty-year-old plantings have delivered a juicy and vibrant release. Aromatic raspberry and cherry fruits with sweet spice and oregano notes are joined by floral and savoury characters on a fresh and expressive palate. A wine for the here and now … and tomorrow.
