Customer Reviews
★★★★★
"Outstanding wine for the price. Full of flavour and really smooth. Paired beautifully with roast beef. Will definitely be ordering more."

★★★★☆
"Lovely balance of fruit and spice. The mint and pepper give it that Aussie character. A hidden gem from Victoria."
– Amanda J., London
The grapes were picked based on flavour analysis, at 12.5 to 14.5° Baumé. The fruit was destemmed, lightly crushed and cooled to 12 to 14°C before being transferred to open vats. The vats were inoculated with selected yeast; plunging took place on the first day with pump-overs from then on. Fermentation slowly warmed to 25 to 28°C and lasted seven to nine days. The wine was matured in 10 to 100-year-old large format French oak barrels for 18 months.
The old vines deliver a generous and expressive wine with underlying elegance. Hints of bay leaf, mint, and pepper weave seamlessly around dark berry, spice, and plum fruits with herbal and cedar oak-derived complexity.

| Winery | Tahbilk vineyards are grouped along the banks of the Goulburn River, and an anabranch flows through the estate. The vines are grown at approximately 134 meters of gently undulating and flat terrain. The soils are sandy loams with ferric oxide content, which varies from wonderful sand near the anabranch to denser loams on the plains. The estate has Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards dating from 1940 to 1990; the oldest of the blocks is the 1949 'Old' Cabernet, planted on very fine red sandy soils. The blocks planted before 1996 are on unknown rootstocks and are healthy. They are trained on a single wire trellis with a mixture of head and cordon training; all are cane-pruned. Tahbilk's vines are sustainably cultivated; composting and mulching take place, which improves soil health by promoting earthworm activity. Mulching helps to control weeds and conserves water, reducing vine stress. The old vines are hand-picked, while younger vines are machine-harvested. |
