Tahbilk 1927 Vines Marsanne 2017 750ml

Tahbilk 1927 Vines Marsanne 2017 is one of Australia’s great heritage wines, sourced from some of the oldest continuously producing Marsanne vines in the world, planted in 1927. This release showcases the variety’s remarkable ability to evolve, beginning with restraint and structure, then unfolding into layered complexity with time. The 2017 vintage sits beautifully in its evolution, combining freshness with emerging savoury depth. Halliday Wine Companion - 95 Points 1927 Vines is the equivalent of a bottle aged Hunter semillon, albeit with marsanne. It's ground-breaking in style, showcasing the grape in a different light. Herbals and florals to the fore on the bouquet, penetrating and lifted. High acidity is not a strength of the grape but picked early it's bracing and crunchy against a background of quince, green apple, grilled grapefruit and lemon zest. Still young and coiled tight, give it time. Jeni Port Tasting Notes Aroma: Lemon rind, beeswax and chamomile with hints of lanolin, almond and gentle spice. Palate: Medium-bodied and textural, showing citrus, pear skin and savoury nuance supported by fine phenolic grip. Finish: Long, dry and complex with lingering mineral and waxy notes. Serving Suggestions Serve at 10–12°C. Decanting or extended time in the glass will reveal added aromatic and textural detail.
