Returning to his home along the Nagambie Lakes after the completion of service during World War II, Eric Purbrick discovered a cache of wine, hidden circa 1876 under the family estate cellars. Though pale in colour, it was sound and drinkable after seven decades. The promise of long lived red wine inspired Purbrick to establish new plantings at Chateau Tahbilk in 1949, today they are some of Victoria's oldest productive Cabernet Sauvignon vines. Having barely scraped through the ravages of phyloxera and a period of disrepute, the fortunes of Tahbilk were turned around by Purbrick who was the first to market Australian wine under its varietal name. Tahbilk proudly hosts the largest, single holding of.. Phyloxera, ancient cellars & seriously old vines»
Heirloom Vineyards were born of love. A romance between an esteemed wine judge and his protege, consumated by a shared passion to preserve the integrity of venerable old vineyards. A deference for the sanctity of the soil and adherence to the timeless procedures of organic viticulture, were an integral part of the vision. Their parching quest, to secure some grand old blocks of vine in the elder precincts of Adelaide Hills, Coonawarra, Barossa and Valley Eden, were followed by years of corrective husbandry, pencil label releases and bespoke vintages. The fostered old vines have now been resurrected, yielding treasured harvests of the most sublime new world wine. Recipients of prestigious Platinum Award &.. Serenading sleeping vineyards to life»

Penfolds St Henri 2010 CONFIRM 2010 VINTAGE

Shiraz Barossa South Australia
Outstanding Langtons Classification. Notwithstanding it's stately ranking in the pantheon of enduring Penfold wines, St Henri is remarkably approachable upon release, it remains accessible to most red wine enthusiasts in terms of drinkability and pecuniary value. St Henri's style is essentially fruit forward, the time spent ageing in an ancient collection of oversize, well used 1460 litre oak vats softens the tannins without infusing the wine with any obvious oak character. An Australian classic to savour alongside roast rack with root vegetable and sea parsley.
John Davoren was sanctioned by Penfolds to formulate a superior dry red wine, at a time when the Australian market was primarily interested in Port. It was during the 1950s, when the legendary Max Schubert was concurrently working on his Grange project. The bean counters at Penfold had thoroughly repudiated the unjustifiable expense that Schubert had accumulated in his preference of ageing Shiraz under exclusively new oak. Davoren was briefed to complete the task within budget, his trials to achieve the consumate dry red, were eventually realized in 1960. Following fermentation, St Henri is matured twelve months in a collection of large oak vats which have served Penfolds for several decades. Alcohol 14.5%
Purple rim, black core. Blackness, black pudding, shoe polish and tanned leather, black liquorice, black olive and black jelly bean. Scents of liqueured cherry, saturated dark plum, beetroot and ristretto. A full bodied palate, rich and dark, concentrated and chewy, a complex kaleidoscopic of flavour, liqueured fruits, elderberry, wild raspberries and pomegranate, almonds and praline. Excellent length, a well of unbridled fine tannins.
