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.

Tasting Notei

Tahbilk 2024 Marsanne
Silver Medal Winner | Enjoy Now to 2032/2034
Whilst presenting its own challenges as whites and reds ripened together bringing on a mad rush, vintage 2024 delivered very good to outstanding wines. The fruit intensity of our 2024 Marsanne is signature to this unique varietal ... lifted citrus and tropical fruits are framed by a bright minerality with delicious toast and honeysuckle richness coming with age.

Tahbilk 2023 Marsanne (As reviewed on release)
Trophy, Gold & Silver Medal Winner | Halliday 95 Points | Enjoy Now to 2035 Plus
A challenging vintage, that included a 1 in 100-year flood event, has delivered wines of wonderful depth of flavour and character. The intense floral, citrus and tropical fruits of this iconic Marsanne testament to that ... fresh acidity and a clean minerality adding to its appeal. Further complexity will undoubtedly come with age.

Tahbilk 2022 Marsanne (As reviewed on release)
Silver Medal Winner | Halliday 95 Points | Enjoy Now to 2028/2030

The low-yielding and challenging 2022 vintage has delivered a true to Estate varietal Marsanne of lifted and intense lemon citrus, spice and pear fruits with a zesty minerality and cleansing acidity.
Time in the cellar will undoubtedly bring on a toasty, honeysuckle and orange marmalade richness and complexity.

Tahbilk 2021 Marsanne (As reviewed on release)
Gold & Silver Medal Winner | Halliday 95 Points | Enjoy Now to 2029/2031
Rated as a stellar vintage for Estate whites, our 2021 release has all of the readily identifiable characters expected of a Tahbilk Marsanne. Lifted floral and spice aromas, intense lemon/lime and tropical fruits, subtle honeysuckle notes, finishing with a razor-sharp, mineral acidity. Time in the bottle will see further richness and complexity evolve.

Tahbilk 2020 Marsanne
Trophy, Gold & Silver Medal Winner | Halliday 93 Points | Enjoy Now to 2028/2030

Golden colour, featuring an expressive florals like dandelion, chamomile and white blossom. Ripe fruit on the palate; orange, lemon and green mango.
It is a Marsanne with a bigger mouthfeel ... drink over the next year or tuck it away for 4 years and enjoy it beyond 2027.
