Tahbilk Chardonnay 750mL

Description

Tahbilk is the oldest family owned winery and vineyard in Victoria. Purchased by the Purbrick family in 1925, Tahbilk is now home to five generations.

Tahbilk has a rich source of old vineyards and iconic single vineyard wines, including Victoria’s oldest Shiraz planted in 1860 and Australian’s oldest Marsanne planted in 1927.

The first extensive plantings of Chardonnay took place on the Estate in 1979, although there are scattered vines identified as the varietal in a ‘fruit salad’ vineyard block that dates back to 1927.

1988 was the first commercial vintage to be released and Chardonnay is the only of the Tahbilk whites to spend extended time in oak prior to bottling.

This Chardonnay instantly impresses with vivacious honeydew melon and tropical fruits and, as the only Tahbilk white to spend time in oak, nutty and spice notes add a further flavour dimension. A vibrant lemony acidity completes a delicious and elegant package.
