Tahbilk 1927 Vines Marsanne 2001
Long, fresh and faintly chalky, this rather elegant and reserved marsanne reveals a lightly toasty, waxy and floral bouquet of honeysuckle, cloves and nutmeg. Its pure, intense core of melon and stonefruit flavour is backed by creamy, nutty nuances, with meaty, lanolin-like complexity and an underlying dustiness. Smooth and even, its persistent flavours culminate in a long, fresh and pithy finish of lemon-like flavour.

Winery
Tahbilk
Tahbilk is an historic vineyard and winery on the banks of the Goulburn River in central Victoria. The winery is blessed with large old cellars replete with very large old cooperage, which Alister Purbrick feels is essential to the make-up and identity of Tahbilk red wine. So to some extent Tahbilk is a museum piece -Ę to visit and to taste -Ę but this simply lends individuality and character. The estate is home to some significant old vineyards responsible for such regional classics as the 1860s Vines Shiraz and the 1927 Vines Marsanne, each of which can produce vintages of rare quality and longevity.
