Halliday 93 Points | Enjoy Now to 2040 Plus | 13.5% Alcohol
This exceptional vintage release from 2015, with vines averaging 158 years in age, showcases the best of our old-world winemaking style.

Time spent in a mix of new and older French oak barrels adds texture, spice and cedar notes. The tannins are fine grained … the finish prodigiously long.
Tahbilk 2016 Shiraz
Halliday 94 Points | Enjoy Now to 2032/2035 | 14.0% Alcohol
The colour has lightened with bottle age and now more of a light to medium pale ruby.
Incredibly classic and unique aged Tahbilk aromas. Dried plum, burnt sage bush and milled sawdust. The tannins have softened and are well integrated into the palate where you will find supple and juicy red fruit, lovely white pepper, clove and nutmeg spice lingering on. Still got a little bit of give with acidity in check, enjoy over the next 10 years ... easily!

This Estate blend of 53% Shiraz and 47% Cabernet Sauvignon delivers a wine of great character and easy appeal with fresh and lifted plum, spice and earthy characters woven through black olive, mint and dark berry fruits.Delicious drinking now with meaty stews and char-grilled steaks, or hide it in the cellar to see additional complexity develop.
Tahbilk 2022 Shiraz
Halliday 94 Points | Enjoy Now to 2035/2039 Plus | 14.5% Alcohol
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.
