The abundance of water, warm climate and sandy soils has enabled this region to consistently produce wine since the 1860s and boasts some of the oldest Shiraz vines in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe history of the Goulburn Valley is closely linked to the historic Tahbilk winery (formerly Chateau Tahbilk). The \"old cellars\" at Tahbilk were completed at the end of the 1860s and the \"new cellar\", sitting underneath the immaculately preserved wooden winery buildings, commenced in 1875. Tahbilk still produces a few hundred cases of wine each year from vines planted in the 1860s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the world famous old vine Shiraz produced in the region, Goulburn Valley also boasts the oldest and largest plantings of Marsanne in the world.

Recognition has also come on the Australian Wine Show circuit with to date 4 Trophies, 22 Gold, 38 Silver and 76 Bronze medals awarded. Tahbilk Viognier releases are considered to be best appreciated as youthful and exuberant wines when their distinguishing floral and stone fruit characters are to the fore. Intense and fragrant rose petal and ginger spice lead a softly textured palate of apricot, peach and honeydew melon characters, lifted by a deliciously zesty acidity on the finish.
