The numerous lakes and lagoons in the region, connected by the Goulburn River, have a cooling effect and moderate the average temperature in the area. Nagambie Lakes also boasts unique red sandy loam soils due to their high iron oxide content, which positively impacts the grape quality and gives the wines a distinct regional character. The region is best known for its old-vine Shiraz and also has plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon. Rhône white varieties also excel, including Viognier, Roussanne, and the age-worthy Marsanne.Enjoy the fruity Tahbilk Roussanne Marsanne Viognier
The grapes are harvested only at peak ripeness, a process determined by regular tasting. The grapes are then transported to the winery, where traditional winemaking takes place. The aroma begins with floral notes, elderflower, and a generous dose of rosewater. This is followed by aromas of lemon and fresh ginger, thanks to the Viognier grape. The palate is beautifully rounded with stone fruit and apricots, complemented by juicy tropical fruit. The fruit is interspersed with a bright acidity that carries through to the finish.Micro-terroir
