About The Wine

Built in 1882, Tahbilk's iconic pagoda style tower, designed and built by the innovative Estate manager at the time Francois Coueslant, played an integral role to early winemaking, gravity feeding the crushed grapes to the fermenters and cellars below. It also provided a point of elevation in an  otherwise flat landscape from which vineyard workers and their supervisors could be observed. 

Over the years it has become a readily identifiable landmark on the Tahbilk landscape and is now celebrated with a range of bright and intensely flavoured wines crafted with the emphasis on current drinking and enjoyment.

A little Fiano background ...
Fiano is a white Italian wine grape variety that is grown primarily in the Campania region of southern Italy and on the island of Sicily.
“Traditionally, Italian Fianos are renowned for being strongly flavoured and fuller-bodied than most other whites. Characteristically, they express subtle nutty aromas, with fresh pear, citrus and honey flavours encased by rich and waxy textures. Part of its great appeal is that, depending on the grape’s growing conditions, it will embrace many wine styles, from steely fresh and mineral to indulgently lush and rich” www.winecompanion.com.au
