14.01.2022 The spirit of Christmas at Tibooburra - Orders close December 7 for pre Christmas delivery. It’s been a wild and wet spring, but now that the sun has finally come out, the vineyard is looking beautiful as the forthcoming crop begins to flower. And signs are looking good as we begin to prepare for harvest early 2017. To celebrate the festive season as we always do, we have assembled a package exclusively for our Friends of Tibooburra. We are proud to offer 3 stand-outs from th...e 2015 vintage as well as a sleeper from 2008. This mixed dozen will make the festive season that much more memorable for you, your family and friends it also makes a terrific corporate gift or inclusion at office Christmas parties. It is offered with a 10 % Friends of Tibooburra discount, which is fantastic value considering that our prices have not increased for five or six years despite increasing production costs. Here are some tasting notes: The 2015 Tibooburra Pinot Noir A Gourmet Traveller Wines Top 100 selection. Seductive, silky and mysterious, thanks to addition of a new French clone. The 2015 Tibooburra Chardonnay Rated 92 / 100 by the Wine Front. Chablis in style. Beautifully balanced. The 2015 Solitude Shiraz Rated 93 / 100 by The Melbourne Weekly Review. Like something out of Northern Rhone. Shows just how good Upper Yarra Shiraz can be. The 2008 Solitude Sauvignon Blanc Rated 92/ 100 by the Wine Front. Drinking very much like a white Bordeaux after all this time, and still with a lovely hint of natural acidity. Last time this wine will be offered. While we recommend this mix, individual wines can be ordered separately by visiting our website www.tibooburra.com . Pre-Christmas orders close on Wednesday 7 December for logistical reasons. Wishing you the best for a safe and happy Christmas / New Year from the Kerr family and staff of Tibooburra Vineyard. For more information, see www.tibooburra.com or phone Greg Kerr on 0418 367 319

13.01.2022 A recent review on the Tibooburra Pinot Noir 2016. Posted on 23 August 2017; The Wine Front. From the cooler bits of the Yarra Valley, made by Timo Mayer and Andrew Marks - the Dynamic Duo of the Upper Yarra. Poached strawberry, smoke and spice, a subtle peat/earthy smell. Light to medium weight, silky powdery tannin, a smoky autumn leaves thing going through juicy red berries, and a spicy and sappy finish of fair length. Nice wine all up. Rated : 91 Points Tasted:Aug17 Alcohol : 13.5% Price : $35 Closure : Screwcap Drink:2018 - 2O22

11.01.2022 2015 SHIRAZ AN ABSOLUTE RIPPER! From Greg Kerr 'One of the truly special experiences of being a wine producer is assessing each individual wine as it matures in the barrel. And, occasionally, you are rewarded by a Holy Grail moment when a particular wine stands out as being all that you hoped it would be - and more. Such a reckoning came when tasting our 2015 Shiraz for the first time. It showed spice cupboard and white pepper characters, with some gamey and savoury notes, a...nd even a minerally burst of ruby red grapefruit! ' As complex as all these attributes appeared to be, they combined to create a delectable mouth-feel and a lingering, even finish. A final barrel tasting showed that this was no aberration - the wine was every bit as good as we thought it was, having evolved through its 12 month journey in oak very nicely. Jump on our website www.tibooburra.com for information on how to get hold of the Shiraz and other favourites. See more

07.01.2022 Chardonnay harvest!

06.01.2022 Stop the Presses - Winter News. The vineyard is continuing to flourish, with increased vine age now beginning to reflect in the complexity and character of each new vintage. While much of our fruit continues to background some of the most prestigious labels in Victoria, we reserve the very best parcels for the Tibooburra estate and Solitude labels. Our current line-up includes two new wines from the 2016 vintage: the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, our 2015 Solitude Shiraz and ou...r stayer: the 2010 3-clone Merlot. Each of these wines offers something unique and appealing, and collectively we believe they represent our strongest line up yet in terms of quality and value for money. The 2016 Tibooburra Chardonnay has a hint of creaminess and subtle oak infusion balancing the usual mineral and citrusy characters of the vineyard. Beautifully balanced and mouth-watering, it is drinking well now, but will age beautifully. It is a seriously good single vineyard wine for under $30. The 2016 Tibooburra Pinot Noir is a beauty from a low yielding parcel. It has already found its way onto some impressive lists including Barrique(Healesville) and The Hills (Surrey Hills). Fans of Burgundy are loving this wine's seductive perfume, soft, silky texture and underlying hints of forest floor & game. The 2015 Solitude Shiraz - with its northern Rhone attributes - is a dark horse, showing just how good Yellingbo can be in producing non-traditional varieties. It is rocking at some of Melbourne top steakhouses, but would just as soon sit well beside a burger, pizza or spaghetti bolognaise. Ben Thomas of The Melbourne Weekly Review described it as a "perfumed, funky beast of a wine" . Be your own judge, but just one tip: a quick decanter will allow it to open up and show its true potential. Our 2010 3-clone Merlot completes the mix. Plum, cassis, mulberry, cigar box and olive tapenade, cured meats ... it's all there, with a few Cabernet nuances as part of the backstory. Some of you would have tried this wine in its youth, and it is worth revisiting to see how beautifully this variety can evolve with some patient cellaring. Now is a great time to restock with a selection from this impressive mix. These are wines to be enjoyed in the company of good friends, good food and open fires! As usual, we are happy to offer a 10 % discount to our Friends of Tibooburra. Visit www.tibooburra.com for ordering details and prices. See more
