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 2025 Marsanne
Enjoy Now to 2034/2036 | 12.0% Alcohol
Our 2025 Marsanne is distinguished by the expressive varietal characteristics and lively acidity exhibited by our Estate Whites from that year. Lifted and intense citrus, spice and springtime floral aromas create a delicious promise that is then delivered on a bright and lively palate of more citrus, tropical and ripe pear notes.
Age will see further characteristic richness and complexity develop.

Tahbilk 2023 Marsanne (As reviewed on release)
Trophy, Gold & Silver Medal Winner | Halliday 95 Points | Enjoy Now to 2028/2030 |12.5% Alcohol
Shut your eyes, open your tastebuds, and there is life here and brightness of fruit and energy. Spring blossoms come to mind, the pure scent of honeysuckle and citrus. It's an early bloomer – or so it appears just before release – immediate and attractive right now (late Dec) in lemon sorbet tang, green apple and quince delivered with an emerging texture.
I am enjoying it now, but I know what Tahbilk Marsanne is capable of with bottle ageing. Never to be underestimated."

Tahbilk 2020 Marsanne (As reviewed on release)
Trophy, Gold & Silver Medal Winner | Halliday 93 Points | Enjoy Now to 2028/2030 |13.0% Alcohol

“This is a particularly fruity, fruit salad’y, open-for-business expression of Tahbilk Marsanne. It’s both pleasant and pleasing, but it’s also well balanced and tantalisingly persistent. You can go out now, no problems. But it can also be cellared with confidence.” Campbell Mattinson | www.winefront.com

Tahbilk 2019 Marsanne
Gold & Silver Medal Winner | Halliday 95 Points | Enjoy Now to 2027/2029 |12.0% Alcohol
"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."
Jeni Port | Wine Companion | May 2025

Tahbilk 2017 Marsanne
Gold & Silver Medal Winner | Halliday 95 Points | Enjoy Now to 2025/2026 | 12.0% Alcohol

"Rapturous waxy lemon, candied orange and greengage aromas are embraced by a sphere of toasted brioche and cashew nut with a creamed honey texture and gorgeous mineral finish."
