Australia Australian History Chateau Tahbilk Vineyard Wine Winery

Chateau Tahbilk Story of a Vineyard 1860-1985 by Frank Doherty and Enid Moodie Heddle charts the first 125 years of one of Australia’s oldest family wineries. This concise 89-page paperback traces the Moodie and Purbrick generations who shaped the Tahbilk label, from horse-drawn ploughs to modern tanks amid bushfires, wars and boom-bust cycles.

Ideal for collectors of Australian wine history, the narrative blends business biography with regional heritage, spotlighting the Victorian Goulburn Valley’s terroir and the vignerons who protected it. Readers curious about 19th-century vineyard techniques, prohibition challenges and export triumphs will find vivid first-hand detail inside.

The 1985 first edition shows gentle shelf life: the illustrated cover carries light scuffing, pages have mellowed to a warm cream, yet the binding remains firm and no previous owner has marked or dog-eared a single page. A tidy, smoke-free copy ready for the cellar-side reading stack.
