Tahbilk Shiraz presents a full-bodied and rich texture, coupled with a perfect balance of tannins which contribute to its elegant, long-lasting finish. This sophisticated wine, offering depth and complexity, leaves an impressionable mark on the palate. It pairs beautifully with hearty dishes, making it an exemplary choice for any fine dining experience.

Tasting Notes

Varietally expressive with ample plum and blackberry fruits, there is a warm earth and spicy savouriness that immediately appeals with a backbone of fine, opulent tannins and a rich, persistent finish. Serve with tender lamb shanks in a hearty tomato gravy with creamy mash.
