Tahbilk Old Vines Cabernet Shiraz 2019

Tahbilk Old Vines Cabernet Shiraz 2019 – Nagambie Lakes, Victoria

A blend born of heritage and elegance, the Tahbilk Old Vines Cabernet Shiraz 2019 is a distinguished expression from one of Australia’s oldest wineries. Sourced from vines dating back to Cabernet planted in 1949 and Shiraz stretching to 1860, this wine celebrates depth from old-vine concentration and careful craftsmanship.

On the nose, expect smooth layers of dark berries, plum, cassis, and black cherry, framed with bay leaf, mint, and a hint of pepper spice. The palate is generous and expressive, delivering plush dark berry fruit with herbal complexity and cedar oak nuances that anchor the wine beautifully. With a measured 14.5% ABV, the balance is refined and lingering, underpinned by chalky tannins and savoury finesse.

This wine pairs wonderfully with roast beef, lamb, or hearty casseroles. It typifies Tahbilk’s signature style: mature Aussie red that blends old-vine intensity with grace and character. Whether enjoying now or cellaring further, it’s a must-try for enthusiasts of thoughtful, terroir-driven blends.
