Marsanne is one of the world's rarest grape varietals, and Tahbilk holds the largest and oldest single holding of the varietal in the world. Originally from Hermitage AOC in France's northern Rhône wine region, it was brought to Australia and established at St Hubert's Vineyard in Victoria's Yarra Valley. Tahbilk sourced cuttings from there in 1860, and although those vines didn't survive, Tahbilk was still able to plant Marsanne in 1927 at the request of the newly appointed winemaker, Eric Stevens Purbrick. We call this block the 1927 Vines, and it is these Marsanne vines that are amongst the oldest in the world.
