2015 TAHBILK 1927 VINES MARSANNE, NAGAMBIE LAKES

$47 / 2035

1927 Vines was an epiphany, inspired by the beauty that comes to bottle-aged Hunter semillon. A steely, pure backbone of clean acidity is the vehicle for the grape’s underrated versatility and charm. Honeysuckle, apple blossom, white peach, honeycomb and hay mingle in the glass. Six years old and still fresh, it tingles on the palate with lemon zest, grapefruit and dusty apple brightness. Texture is developing and the long, apricot nut finish is something that stays with you. Still a pup. JP 11% alc.

What is special about this wine?

This wine is made using very traditional techniques. The fruit is picked early, no chemicals are added, the juice is settled and then fermented. The result is a water white, high acid, flavourless white wine which is virtually undrinkable. The wine is then bottled and left to age. All the magic happens in the bottle, like an ugly duckling morphing into a beautiful swan, and after about six years, a wonderfully complex trophy-winning wine emerges.
