Tahbilk is not only about marsanne. All the other major Rhone varieties (of both colours) are widely represented at the property. This blend is a celebration to textural whites with all three varieties chipping in with their set of aromatics and their structural components.
The florals hit the nose first with notes of honeysuckle, elderflower and a good whack of rose water. The 20% viognier is definitely not hiding! Lemon oil and fresh ginger to follow.
The well rounded palate is a triumph of stone fruit with apricots and their kernels in the front line, complemented by succulent tropical fruit. This wine screams lobster rolls.
Born and raised in Naples, Italy, Andrea came to Australia in 2013 after graduating with an environmental science degree. While working as a waiter in between jobs, Andrea found he enjoyed hospitality much more than his previous career during a stint working at MoVida Sydney. After a short apprenticeship at 121 BC, Sydney’s ground-breaking gem for Lo-Fi Italian wines, and a few months with the Lotus Group, Andrea moved to Melbourne and reunited with Movida. He’s been curating the highly regarded Wine List at Movida Melbourne, including one of the country's finest Spanish selections, for the past 3 years while studying for the WSET diploma.
