"Graft" and "Grafting" are very different - the latter is the horticultural term for the process of switching plant variety. Tamburlaine has grafted a few blocks in recent years producing more choice for blending in the lab.

Tasting Notes:
Colour | Deep garnet with a bright purple hue.
Bouquet | Ripe dark plum, blackcurrant jam, freshly cracked black pepper, and a hint of dark chocolate, all woven together with classy toasty-mocha French oak.
Palate | Full-flavoured yet perfectly balanced cool-climate red. A flood of juicy blackberry, plum and redcurrant, layered with five-spice, dark cocoa and subtle smoked-meat nuance from oak. Silky, velvety tannins roll across the palate and finish long.

Pairs well with:
Meat | Slow-braised beef cheek in master-stock with star anise, served over creamy polenta.
Seafood | Char-grilled Moreton Bay bug tails brushed with garlic, chilli and smoked-paprika butter.
Vegetarian | Twice-baked field mushroom filled with taleggio, spinach, roasted garlic and hazelnut crumb.
Vegan | Sticky miso-glazed eggplant steaks with black sesame and spring-onion salad.
Cheese | Washed-rind soft cheese at room temperature with sourdough and fig.

Cellaring | Delicious now, but will blossom with 6-10 years in a cool, dark cellar.

Alcohol | 13.5%

Our Passion behind what we do

Tamburlaine Organic Wine's journey to 'Contemporary Organics' began in the late '90s and continues today. We believe in continuously improving our practices in vineyards and wineries not just for the sake of fashion, but because it makes sense. Established in 1966, Tamburlaine was purchased in 1985 by a small group led by Managing Director and Chief Winemaker, Mark Davidson. With a long-term view, Tamburlaine has built a unique winemaking philosophy based on modern scientific thinking and a holistic approach to grape growing and winemaking practices. Despite challenges, Tamburlaine has emerged as one of Australia's leading organic producers.

Constantly Striving for Perfection

Tamburlaine Organic Wine has experienced incredible transformation in its vineyards in the Hunter and Orange Regions of NSW through the implementation of contemporary organic thinking. The health of the soils and vines has improved, resulting in consistently high-quality fruit. With a vineyard expansion to approximately 450 hectares and an annual production of around 200,000 cases, Tamburlaine has become a significant player in the wine industry. The high altitude, cool climate conditions, and volcanic soils in Orange have solidified its position as one of Australia's top premium wine regions. The integration of biodynamic methods into their organic management has been shown to enhance soil health, which is now recognized as a key determinant of superior wine quality.
