95 Points - Jeni Port
Located in the Nagambie Lakes region of central Victoria and with a history dating back to the 1860's, Tahbilk has long been considered one of Australia's most historic family owned wineries. In recent years Tahbilk's Grenache Mourvèdre Rosé has established itself as one of Australia's best value Rosés and has quickly become a 'go-to' for many Rosé drinkers.
Inspired by the great examples of Provence, this 2020 Tahbilk Rosé is made from a blend of 59% Grenache and 41% Mourvèdre; delivering a dry, vibrant wine of enormous appeal. Lovely aromas of musk, spice and rose blossom lead to a palate bursting with red berry fruits and nice savoury undertones. Another delicious offering from Tahbilk that offers incredible value at this discounted price.
"95 Points. Cast with a Rhône eye but delivered in a very Australian style with pristine, juicy, crunchy fruit to the fore. Bright confectionery pink. Red cherry, raspberry, strawberry, boiled lolly with pomegranate tartness that puckers just so. The degree of acidity/tannin meets the fruit and then just a little bit more. Got the balance just right. $22. 12% alc. Drink by 2025. Screwcap" - Jeni Port, winecompanion.com.au.
"Three years in, three very enjoyable releases of this rose. This has drinkability written all over it. It’s fresh, zippy, flows with cherry and apple flavours and is refreshing through the finish. No probs. Good stuff. 91 Points Tasted: Oct20 12% alc. $21 Screwcap Drink: 2020 - 2022" - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front.
