TAHBILK – “Winery of the Year” – James Halliday ‘Australian Wine Companion 2016
91pts – James Halliday
91pts – Jeremy Oliver
“Polished by time in oak & bottle; understated dark fruits, the fine tannins largely absorbed. Will go on forever. Only 300 cases made.”
“Every surviving vine in this block was planted in 1860. The price should be at least $500 a bottle.” – James Halliday
“….plenty of character & complexity” – Jeremy Oliver
Tahbilk’s ‘1860 Vines’ Shiraz is produced from a 1/2 hectare un-grafted, pre-phylloxera original Estate planting – amongst the oldest Shiraz vines in the world.
After careful handpicking, fermentation takes place in century old oak vats followed by maturation in French oak for 18 months prior to bottling & then a further 4 years “bottle-aging” before release.
