Tahbilk Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 (Nagambie)

Established in 1860, Tahbilk is located in the premium central Victorian viticultural region of
Nagambie Lakes.

Purchased by Reginald Purbrick in 1925, five generations of the Purbrick family have been actively involved with the Estate bringing a tradition of pride, hard work and a love of good wine to their unique heritage of being the oldest family owned winery and vineyard in Victoria.

Tahbilk has some 28 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon planted on the Estate with the oldest vines dating back to 1949.

Made utilising traditional Tahbilk techniques; fermentation takes place in 150 year old open vats, before maturation in predominantly French oak for 18 months prior to bottling.

Tahbilk Reds are crafted with a commitment to traditional winemaking values.

Fermentation takes place in original open oak vats (over 155 years old), followed by maturation in similarly aged large French oak barrels prior to being bottled. Smaller French and American oak barrels are also used, with the wine from these blended back during the final filtering and bottling.
In the face of changing winemaking styles and trends, this has remained the way over the years, delivering wines of true provenance and reflective of each vintage.

2019 is a vintage that delivered rich and deeply flavoured Estate fruit. Completed with large open oak vat fermentation followed by maturation in small and large oak casks, using traditional Tahbilk red winemaking practices first employed by Alister Purbrick's (Winemaker) grandfather shaping this 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon.
