The Story of an Australian Legend

Australian Shiraz

It's almost impossible to talk about Australian winemaking without including shiraz. Shiraz is Australia’s stable red grape variety, makes the most popular red wine, and is at the core of the country’s incredible export success.

The most widely planted wine grape in the country, Shiraz continues to dominate the Australian wine scene with its bold, ripe flavours and easy-drinking nature. Australia also holds the enviable title of having the oldest shiraz vines in the world and they continue to challenge Australian winemakers who are curious by nature, perfecting old concepts and playing with new ideas to create something extraordinary. And that’s what makes the future of Australian shiraz so exciting.

Tahbilk Winery - Victoria's Oldest Winery was established in 1860 and continues to pay homage to the tradition of old-world winemaking, a celebration of terroir.

Tahbilk Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre 2019

“This latest in an impressive run of recent vintages is multilayered, vibrant and savoury with fleshy plum and dark fruits sitting alongside licorice, spice and dried herb notes. Fine-grained and non-intrusive tannins finish a wine of immediate appeal that will see character develop with further cellaring''

Tahbilk Cabernet Shiraz 2017

Xanadu - Margaret River

Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

A full-bodied yet refined, the generous palate offers a core of inky berry fruits; boysenberry, blackcurrants and Satsuma plums. Dense and well- structured, the palate is layered with these dark fleshy fruit characteristics and ripe tannins which culminate through to a persistent Cabernet finish.

Estate Chardonnay 2021

The palate is medium-full bodied offering white fleshed stone fruits pears and zesty lemony/grapefruit flavours. The powerful fruit is balanced by a backbone of phenolic tension combined with a mouth-watering saline edge and zesty acidity which focuses the wine perfectly to a crisp, dry, persistent fruit finish.

Winemakers selection 50th Vintage Release

Tyrrell's Vat 47 Chardonnay

The 2021 vintage marks the 50th release of Vat 47, Australia’s first Chardonnay. Vibrant green colour, the nose is delicate and perfectly balanced with citrus and white stone fruit with a hint of oak only that sits in the background. The palate is medium bodied and shows sweet Chardonnay fruit that is balanced by textural elements derived from the solids ferment and extended time on yeast lees. The purity, intensity, and length of fruit is what sets this vintage apart from others in recent times.

The Short Flat Vineyard is a mosaic of vine ages, with the oldest blocks of Chardonnay dating back to 1968, while the youngest vines were planted in 2001.

Mount Mary

Quintet

The Mount Mary Quintet is a lucious blend of Cabernet sauvignon (50%), Merlot (25%), Cabernet franc (15%), Malbec (5%) and Petit verdot (5%). The percentage of each variety that goes into the final blend changes with the season as factors such as fruitfulness and fruit set vary.

Totally opaque black dark red colour with a bright dark purple red hue. Graceful power with beautifully refined tannins seamlessly integrated with the fruit and a youthful freshness – the framework ideal for long term cellaring.

Mount Mary

Yarra Valley Chardonnay

A very intense chardonnay with aromas of yellow grapefruit, flint, white peach, lemon and wet stone, as well as a lightly spicy oak edge. The palate has such supple and lithe texture and really elegant, bright and crisp peaches and lemons abound. Very drinkable now.
