Tahbilk Marsanne 2024

One of the top value Aussie whites going – year in, year out. It is unwooded and so the purity of varietal expression is keen, with the prettiest of spring florals on display and a brightness of citrus that sparks the palate. Honeysuckle, citrus blossom and acacia work with citrus, quince, green apple and a lemon sorbet tang to ignite the tastebuds, hand in hand with juicy acidity. A mid-palate creaminess opens up the food-matching possibilities. I’m thinking lobster meunière. As for ageing? It’s up for a decade or more. Drink from: 2025. Drink by: 2038. Special Value. Score – 95. (Jeni Port, winecompanion.com.au, June 19, 2025)
