At the time of Tahbilk's very early beginnings in 1860, one of Tahbilk's founding fathers, John Pinney Bear placed an advertisement in leading newspapers across Australia asking for 'One million strong vine cuttings'. His advertisement was reasonably successful with Tahbilk receiving around 600,000 cuttings and by the end of 1860, 26 hectares of vines planted. This historic advert was the inspiration for this range of wines which have been crafted from grapes sourced from other Central Victorian vineyards owned by Tahbilk. Recommendations: An ideal partner to gourmet barbequed meats or a hearty stew.
