  • 2024 Marsanne x 6

From a vintage that delivered very good to outstanding wines, the fruit intensity of our 2024 Marsanne is signature to this unique Estate varietal.
Lifted citrus and tropical fruits are framed by a bright minerality with delicious toast and honeysuckle richness undoubtedly coming with age ... if you have the willpower to resist its absolute enjoyment right now!

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.

Vintage Notesi

2024 Vintage
Surprises aren’t really something that I like, in fact after 20 years in the wine industry, you would think that nothing surprises me anymore, but every year it seems that the season does.
Once again there was high disease pressure, which was partly a carry-over from the previous season, compounded by the intermittent rain and weather events. There also wasn’t the heat that we have seen in previous years, no days above 40 degrees, but none-the-less the season resulted in with the whites and reds ripening at the same time, and organised chaos of vintage once again upon us.
Our first pick was on the 12th February, and our last on the 21st March, so a speedy six weeks and we had everything into the Winery.
Yields were overall slightly below average, but quality is looking good, with what I would consider a very good year for the whites overall and selected parcels of reds are outstanding.
Comparing vintages seems pointless, as every year brings with it its own set of challenges, and 2024 was no different. The final decision is yours as our 2024 are released, when you will be able to enjoy for yourself the outcomes of another challenging but always rewarding, season.
