Our Estate Shiraz is crafted with a commitment to traditional winemaking values. Fermentation takes place in original open vats well over 150 years old, with maturation then in similarly aged large French oak prior to bottling. Smaller French and American oak barrels are also used, with the wine from these blended back during the final filtering and bottling.

Robust and spicy with ripe plum, mulberry and savoury black pepper notes, there is a rich and warming earthiness to this release … chewy, black tea like tannins that will support further development.
Tahbilk 2013 Shiraz
14.5% Alcohol | Enjoy Now to 2025/2027 | 91 Halliday Points
Awarded a Gold Medal and two Silver Medals on release, this is a delicious medium-bodied Shiraz with savoury, red berry and plum fruits on the nose with more plum, cherry, earthiness and black pepper to round out the palate. The tannins have begun to soften and become well integrated with time spent in bottle.
Tahbilk 2009 Shiraz
13.5% Alcohol | Enjoy Now to 2027/2029 | 93 Halliday Points
Clove and spice aromas over tight dark fruit characters, some lingering berry sweetness and finishing with fine-grained tannins. Elegant current drinking with some potential remaining.
And serve with?
A most definite food-friendly wine, the bold and fruit forward characters of Tahbilk Shiraz when young would be well suited to robust meat based stews, grilled or roast beef and strong hard cheeses especially cheddar.
With some age look to game dishes of roast duck, venison or kangaroo and the leanness and delicate flavours of veal.
