2020 Tahbilk Marsanne
The 2020 Tahbilk Marsanne is a delightful journey through the lush vineyards of Victoria’s Nagambie Lakes, where the Marsanne grape finds a unique expression. In the glass, it presents a lemongrass hue, hinting at the vibrant citrus to come. The nose is greeted with an orchestra of grapefruit, golden syrup, and tropical pineapple, all playing in perfect harmony. On the palate, this wine delivers a refreshing performance of floral notes, minerality, and a bright mineral acidity that promises to age into a rich tapestry of honeysuckle and toasty marmalade. Food pairings for this versatile white are as creative as the wine itself; it shines alongside rich white meats like roast chicken, or a creamy pasta, and even stands up to spicy dishes with its weightier body. The 2020 Tahbilk Marsanne is a wine that will continue to surprise and delight for years to come.
