Tasting Notes
Tahbilk’s vineyards are grouped along the banks of the Goulburn River which has a tempering influence on the climate. Grapes for this wine come from the single vineyard Madills 1927 block, where the vines were planted prior to 1986 are on ARG rootstocks. Made with naturally high acidity to support serious long-term ageing, the 1927 Vines Marsanne was matured in bottle for seven years before its release. Complex aromas of mineral, lemon and orange citrus aromas are accompanied by fresh hay overtones. Zesty notes of lemon, grapefruit, toast and classic rich honeysuckle weave through the textured palate, beautifully balanced by vibrant acidity. Perfect with a creamy Lemon Parmesan Chicken Picatta.

Scores
95 / 100"1927 Vines was an epiphany, inspired by the beauty that comes to bottle-aged Hunter semillon. A steely, pure backbone of clean acidity is the vehicle for the grape's underrated versatility and charm. Honeysuckle, apple blossom, white peach, honeycomb and hay mingle in the glass. Six years old and still fresh, it tingles on the palate with lemon zest, grapefruit and dusty apple brightness. Texture is developing and the long, apricot nut finish is something that stays with you. Still a pup."
