Tallarook is situated on
an elevated yet protected site, among rugged hills on
the northern slopes of the Great Dividing Range, in
Central Victoria, Australia. The original Tallarook
Vineyards form part of a property named Dabyminga. Established
first in the 1980s and purchased in 1992 by the Riebl
family, these vineyards and the wines produced under
the TALLAROOKŪ label represent a pioneering effort for
the Tallarook district.
The land was once part
of the territories of the Goulburn Aboriginal tribes.
Before white settlement, it was one of the most densely
populated areas in Australia. Dabyminga derives from
"Ab'minga" (snaketracks) in the language of
the Natramboolok tribe.In the same language, Tallarook
means "Call of the wattlebird".
