Nagambie Lakes
Tahbilk 2009 1860 Vines Shiraz
Australian Red
Bright crimson colour accompanies rich berry fruit, vanilla, spice, ripe black cherry and dried herbs. Integrated oak and fine-grained tannins are also present, with elegance and substantial length. The Shiraz comes from a half-hectare of ungrafted, pre-phylloxera vines. Grapes are hand picked and fermented in old open-oak vats. Maturation lasts eighteen months in French oak, with further bottle ageing.
Tahbilk 2009 Eric Stevens Purbrick Shiraz
Australian Red
Rich chocolate, mocha and liquorice appear with fresh primary fruit intensity, secondary notes and sweet oak. The Shiraz is textural and flavourful, with complexity. The reserve range is used for Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon bottlings chosen from selected vintages. This wine comes from the Nagambie Lakes region in Australia and forms part of that reserve programme.
Tahbilk 2006 1860 Vines Shiraz
Australian Red
A powerful, deeply savoury Shiraz with black fruit, roasted coffee and nutty, polished oak. The palate is concentrated and tightly contained, carrying dense fruit through firm structure and impressive length. Toasted notes remain prominent, yet the finish is composed, weighty and persistent rather than sweet. Decant carefully to let the wine open, then serve with slow-roasted lamb, venison or mature cheddar.
Tahbilk 1998 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Australian Red
A mature Cabernet Sauvignon of remarkable freshness and structure, led by mulberry, dark berries and a cool thread of mint. Coffee, cedar, dark chocolate and polished French oak add savoury depth without overwhelming the fruit. The palate remains rich and firmly shaped, with dry, persistent tannins carrying the wine through a long finish. Decant carefully and pair with roast beef or aged hard cheese.
