Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This Estate release is defined by dark cherry and plum fruits that sit most satisfyingly alongside savoury, spice and black pepper notes. Earthy, chewy tannins will cut through the fat of a rare sirloin steak or lamb roast if enjoying your Tahbilk 2016 Shiraz now (and believe me it is enjoyable!), and equally provide the support for further cellaring should you be looking for added complexity.

Professional Ratings

90 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The medium to full-bodied 2016 Shiraz features attractive aromas of cranberries, cherries, anise and cracked pepper. It's juicy and mouthwatering, with fine-grained tannins that leave behind a savory impression on the finish. It should drink well for at least 5 years.

Syrah / Shiraz Wine

View all products

Marked by an unmistakable deep purple hue and savory aromatics, Syrah makes an intense, powerful and often age-worthy red. Native to the Northern Rhône, Syrah achieves its maximum potential in the steep village of Hermitage and plays an important component in the Red Rhône Blends of the south, adding color and structure to Grenache and Mourvèdre. Syrah is the most widely planted grape of Australia and is important in California and Washington. Sommelier Secret—Such a synergy these three create together, the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre trio often takes on the shorthand term, “GSM.”

Victoria Wine

Australia

Nestled into the tip of its southeastern coastline, Victoria is Australia’s smallest mainland state, second most populous and third largest wine producer. Victoria includes the cool regions of Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula and Geelong, made famous mainly by impressive Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

The more inland Heathcote and Bendigo lead the way for complex and textured, full-bodied reds. Rutherglen’s fortified wines compete among the best on the planet.
