Description
The Estate is blessed with significant older vineyard blocks with, among others, Shiraz dating back to1860 and 1933, and Cabernet Sauvignon to 1949.It is selected of these aged vine plantings that are the primary source for the ‘OId Vines’ Cabernet Shiraz when, from the 2010 vintage, the blend returned and is now a permanent fixture of Tahbilk’s premium Reds portfolio. With a contributing averagevine age of over 35 years they set a new standard for such releases from the Estate
“Sourced from our extensive old vine plantings, this 2017 vintage blend of Estate Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz (51% and 49% respectively)definitively takes its place in our premium reds portfolio. A robust and generous bouquet and palate speaks of dark berry and plum fruits withmulti layered spice characters nestled in a supportive frame of firm grainy tannins. A long and deliciously flavoursome finish is enlivened by a fresh grape acidity. Careful cellaring will be rewarded with additional character and complexity”
