Wine Description
The Story
‘Eric Stevens Purbrick’ Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon / Selected from the most outstanding casks produced by the Estate from a particular vintage, each is made utilising Tahbilk’s traditional red winemaking approach.
Fermentation takes place in 100 year old plus open oak vats followed by maturation in small French and American oak prior to bottling and then further cellaring before release. These quite remarkable wines fittingly carry the name and signature of Eric Stevens Purbrick who began their dynasty under the monikers ‘Special Bin’ (1948 - 1984) and then ‘Reserve’ (1985 - 2001).
