Tahbilk Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon are crafted with a commitment to traditional winemaking values.
Fermentation takes place in original open oak vats (over 155 years old), followed by maturation in similarly aged large French oak barrels prior to being bottled. Smaller French and American oak barrels are also used, with the wine from these blended back during the final filtering and bottling.
In the face of changing winemaking styles and trends, this has remained the way over the years, delivering wines of true provenance and reflective of each vintage.
Enjoy Now to 2033/2035
Crafted with a commitment to our traditional wine making values, this 2018 release is bright and varietal displaying generous dark berry fruits that sit most appealingly alongside a potpourri of savoury spices with dashes of white pepper, all nestled warmly under a blanket of ripe tannins that will support extended cellaring. A very fine Tahbilk Shiraz indeed.
Don't take our word for it ...
"Deepish red colour with a good tint of purple, smelling of pepper and spices, fresh earth and red fruits. The wine is elegantly crafted, taut and medium to full-bodied, with focus and penetrating intensity but not bigness. Tannins are fine and discreet.
An elegant thoroughbred with some cool-climate attributes. Extra value here. 92/100"
