Nagambie Lakes ESTATE GROWN AND BOTTLED

2013 TAHBILK

Geographical Region: Lakes, Central Fruit Source: Estate Grown Grape Variety: 40% Roussanne | 34% Marsanne | 26% Viognier Maturation: A mix of new and older French for 8 months for the Roussanne, tank maturation for the Marsanne and Viognier Acid: 6.0 g/l pH: 3.2 Alcohol: 13.5 % v/v

TASTING NOTES:

Established in 1860 and purchased by the Purbrick family in 1925, Tahbilk has a long association with France’s Rhone Valley grape , from vines dating back to the Estate’s founding, that still survive today, to Marsanne planted in 1927. These elder statesmen vines have been joined by more recent plantings of the Rhone reds - and Mourvedre and whites - Viognier and Roussanne.

Following the Rhone Valley tradition of blending, this 2013 fusion of Roussanne, Marsanne and Viognier presents a rich, textural nose and palate of almond, apricot and honeysuckle characters; a delightful minerality and generous length of finish.
