Tahbilk Marsanne needs no introduction whatsoever. Suffice to say, the 2001, matured under cork, has developed superbly, and has emerged from its tightly coiled youth to reveal typical aged Marsanne characters of honey, acacia, whited peaches and lemon curd. This label is an Australian classic that remains a bargain in the contemporary wine market, especially when offered on discount. Grab a case and lay it down for several years. You won’t be disappointed.

Bright golden yellow. Clean nose, honeysuckle suggestive of development through bottle age, white peach and lemon curd. Dry, medium bodied, lots of fruit and lots of flavour. Nearing maturity, but alive and quite delicious. Excellent wine and superb value for money.
