A Toast to Tradition: Tahbilk's Marsanne Crowned Best Value Wine in Australia
At Tahbilk, we are thrilled to share that our 2023 Marsanne has been honoured with the Best Value Wine award at the Dan Murphy’s Best in Glass Awards 2025. Priced at just $17.29, this recognition underscores our commitment to delivering exceptional quality at an accessible price.
The Best in Glass Awards celebrate excellence across Australia's wine industry, with a panel of 12 esteemed wine experts evaluating entries based on quality, value, and drinkability. Our Marsanne stood out for its vibrant citrus notes, delicate floral aromas, and a crisp, mineral finish—hallmarks of the varietal that we've cultivated with passion and precision.
Our journey with Marsanne dates back to 1927, when we planted vines that are now among the oldest in the world. Over the years, we've nurtured these vines to produce wines that reflect both our heritage and the unique terroir of our estate.
The 2023 vintage, fermented in stainless steel to preserve its fresh and pristine character, is a testament to our dedication to the varietal. With its potential to age gracefully, developing complex honeysuckle and marmalade notes, it offers both immediate enjoyment and long-term value.
Michael Wilson, General Manager of Tahbilk Group, expressed his pride in the achievement, stating, "This award is a testament to our team's dedication and the unique terroir of our estate. It's gratifying to see our Marsanne recognised for its quality and value."
Richard Badanjek, National Business Manager at Tahbilk Group, added, "We're thrilled to see our Marsanne receive such recognition. It's a reflection of our commitment to producing exceptional wines that are accessible to all."
