Tambo Gippsland Lakes Chardonnay

Tambo Gippsland Lakes Chardonnay 2012

James Halliday – An elegant wine, making its point quietly but succinctly, white peach, nectarine and fig contributing 90% of the flavour, lees and oak 10%. Nicely done.

Tambo Gippsland Lakes Chardonnay 2008

James Halliday – Bright, pale green-quartz; a beautifully made wine, with very subtle winemaker inputs into a delectably fresh and light mix of stone fruit and grapefruit, oak irrelevant.

Tambo Gippsland Lakes Pinot Noir

Tambo Gippsland Lakes Pinot Noir 2012

James Halliday -A delicious wine, managing to present perfectly ripened and generous fruit with very modest alcohol, and, at the same time, introduce a subtext of spice and forest floor. Attention to detail has paid major dividends.
Rated 95 points

Tambo Gippsland Lakes Pinot Noir 2009

James Halliday – Bright, clear purple-crimson; a powerful but not heavy-handed pinot, with multiple layers of black fruits, and a long, supple finish. Top gold Gippsland Wine Show 10. Will be long lived.

Tambo Gippsland Lakes Cabernet Sauvignon

Tambo Gippsland Lakes Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

James Halliday – Good colour; a medium-bodied cabernet that improves each time you retaste it, easy to miss the first time through. Its cassis fruit is balanced and lengthened by fine, but ripe tannins, oak playing some role.

Tambo Gippsland Lakes Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

James Halliday – Obviously the colour, while good, is more developed than that of the ’11, and the wine is significantly richer, indeed verging on medium- to full-bodied, with grainy/savoury tannins threaded through the blackcurrant fruit; the oak, too, makes a positive contribution. Exceptional value.
Rated 93 points

Tambo Gippsland Lakes Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

James Halliday – Bright crimson-purple; the fragrant cassis-accented bouquet has just a hint of spice, all pointing to the cool climate, but neither on the bouquet of juicy red fruits or the palate is there any sign of under-ripe fruit. A really enjoyable, uncomplicated, wine that may given even more pleasure down the track if you are tempted to leave some, drink some.

Tambo Gippsland Lakes Sauvignon Blanc

Tambo Gippsland Lakes Sauvignon Blanc 2013

James Halliday -A concentrated and complex wine, the barrel fermentation adding texture on the plus side, and shaving back some of the brighter varietal fruits on the minus side; the ultimate resolution of this mathematical formula is a wine with both textural and flavour complexity, and will develop well in bottle.
Rated 93 points
SOLD OUT

Tambo Gippsland Lakes Sauvignon Blanc 2012

James Halliday – Pale straw-green; the fragrant bouquet of citrus and white peach (intruding into early picked chardonnay territory, but doing so with elan) leads into a beautifully juicy palate that transcends normal stainless steel cold-fermented sauvignon blanc. How much is vineyard wizardry, how much winery, really doesn’t matter. Great value.

Tambo Gippsland Lakes Unwooded Chardonnay

Tambo Gippsland Lakes Unwooded Chardonnay 2013

James Halliday – The absence of oak enhances the intensity and precision of the fruit flavours, with grapefruit to the fore, apple and stone fruits close thereafter; the generous alcohol means a greater depth of flavour without diminishing the varietal character or the precision already discussed.
Rated 90 points
SOLD OUT

Tambo Gippsland Lakes Unwooded Chardonnay 2009

James Halliday – Everything an unwooded chardonnay should be: bracing, fresh and long in the mouth; grapefruit, apple and stone fruit intermingling before the crisp, dry finish
