The name Tahbilk is derived from the aboriginal word ‘Tabilk-tabilk’ - meaning ‘place of many wateringholes’ - as the vineyards are located in a unique sub-region of central Victoria called the Nagambie Lakes, which was given official regional status in 2000.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"c1\"\u003eNagambie Lakes is one of only 6 regions in the world where the meso-climate of the vineyards is significantly influenced by inland water mass. The numerous lakes and lagoons linked by the Goulburn River create a moderate, cooler climate within Victoria. There are 235 hectares of vines planted in the unique red sandy loam soils with a high ferric-oxide content found in only one other location in Victoria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"c1\"\u003ePreviously known as Chateau Tahbilk, Tahbilk (as it is now referred to), has long been associated with the Purbrick family, having been passed down through five generations. Eric Stephens Purbrick, the former winemaker, is credited with having breathed new life into the Estate and revived the quality of the wines after he took over in 1931, and his legacy is celebrated in the ESP reds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"c1\"\u003eToday the winemaking is in the extremely capable hands of Eric’s grandson, Alister Purbrick.
