James Halliday Winery of the Year 2016
"When brooding about the selection of Winery of the Year, I recalled that in 1994 the Maurice O'Shea Award had been given to Jacob's Creek, and in 2002 to the Australian Wine Research Institute, both examples of lateral thinking that (in very different ways) made my choice of Tahbilk seem conventional. But prior awards for the Companion’s Winery of the Year had been selected by currently available wines as the main criteria." James Halliday

"A winery steeped in tradition, which should be visited at least once by every wine-conscious Australian, and which makes wines - particularly red wines - utterly in keeping with that tradition." James Halliday

The Pedigree
Established in 1860 Tahbilk is one of Australia's most beautiful and historic family owned wineries. Located in the Nagambie Lakes region of central Victoria (120kms north of Melbourne), one of the nation's premium viticultural areas, the property comprises some 1,214 hectares of rich river flats with a frontage of 11 kms to the Goulburn River and 8 kms of permanent backwaters and creeks. Purchased by the Purbrick family is 1925, Tahbilk is now home to 5 generations.

Tahbilk '1860 Vines' Shiraz are listed as "Outstanding" in Australian wine auctioneers - Langton's Classification of Australian Wine V - the noted reference to Australia's secondary (auction) wine market - being a "high performing wine of exquisite quality".

In 2002 U.S. Wine & Spirits Magazine nominated the Tahbilk 1860 Vines plantings as one of the 25 Great Vineyards of the World along with the likes of Hermitage La Chapelle, Chateau Lafite-Rothschild, Chateau Yquem, Vega Sicilia and Krug. The vineyards selected were those where the terroir 'is most clearly perceptible in the wine'.

The Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from 28 hectares of Estate plantings, the oldest dating back to 1949. The wine Tahbilk produces from these plantings have consistently shown richness and character over time. The Cabernet Sauvignon considered by many experts to be the best Estate red for long-term cellarage.
