Tahbilk Estate Cane Cut Dessert Nagambie Lakes Marsanne 2019 (500ml) - 12 Bottles

Product Description

Established in 1860, and purchased by the Purbrick family in 1925, Tahbilk is located in the premium central Victorian viticultural region of Nagambie Lakes.
One of the world’s rarest grape varieties, with its origins in the Northern Rhone and Hermitage regions of France, Tahbilk’s history with Marsanne can be traced back to the 1860’s when White Hermitage cuttings were sourced from ‘St Huberts’ Vineyard in Victoria’s Yarra Valley.

The grape in fact was Marsanne and although none of these original plantings have survived, the Estate still has the world’s largest single holding of the varietal and produces Marsanne from vines established in 1927, which are amongst the oldest in the world.

For this Marsanne iteration the vine canes are cut prior to harvest and the fruit allowed to hang prior, the grapes shrivel and this action concentrates the flavours and sugars, producing a luscious wine when made
