 Tahbilk named 'Winery of the Year 2016' in James Halliday's Wine Companion

"A winery steeped in tradition (with National Trust classification), which should be visited at least once by every wine-conscious Australian, and which makes wines particularly red wines utterly in keeping with that tradition. The essence of that heritage comes in the form of the tiny quantities of Shiraz made from vines planted in 1860. Serendipitous, perhaps, but the current release wines are absolutely outstanding. A founding member of Australias First Families of Wine. 2016 Wine Companion Winery of the Year. Exports to all major markets."
