π· Tahbilk, Marsanne
Country: Australia | Region: Victoria | Appellation: Nagambie Lakes | Style: White Wine
Grape Variety: Marsanne

π A benchmark Australian Marsanne β fresh and zesty in youth, yet built to evolve with grace and complexity over time.
π In the Glass:
Pale straw with green tinges β bright, youthful, and shimmering with clarity.
π On the Nose:
Delicate yet expressive, with aromas of lemon blossom, honeysuckle, and green pear, layered with subtle notes of grapefruit, white peach, and a touch of wet stone minerality. A hint of almond skin hints at its age-worthy structure.
π
On the Palate:
Crisp and elegant, showing flavours of citrus zest, ripe apple, and pear, supported by a fine thread of acidity and a whisper of floral spice. The texture is lightly waxy yet fresh, with a gentle savoury undertone and a clean, mineral-laced finish. With age, this wine develops deeper complexity with notes of toast, honey, and roasted nuts.
π½οΈ Food Pairing:
Delightful with grilled prawns, chicken with lemon and herbs, creamy pasta, or semi-soft cheeses like Havarti or young ComtΓ©.
β³ Ageing Potential:
Impressive now in its youthful brightness, but this Marsanne is renowned for its ability to age gracefully for 10β15 years, gaining depth, richness, and textural complexity with time.
β¨ Why Youβll Love It:
Tahbilkβs Marsanne is a true Australian classic, offering exceptional value, elegance, and longevity. Whether enjoyed fresh and floral or cellared for its honeyed evolution, itβs a white of quiet distinction and timeless appeal β a must-try for lovers of character-driven wines.
