Having barely scraped through the ravages of phyloxera and trying times for the industry, the fortunes of Tahbilk were turned around by Eric Purbrick who was the first to market bottled Australian wine under its varietal name. One of the world's rarest grape varietals with its origins in the Rhone and Hermitage regions of France, Marsanne is grown in only three other countries. Tahbilk can boast the largest, single holding of Marsanne in the world. Tahbilk Marsanne enjoys a dedicated worldwide following due to its integrity and charm, complexity and capacity to team wonderfully with foods at all stages of the wine's development.
