Winemaker Notes
70% Cabernet Sauvignon. 30% Merlot
15 months in two and three year old oak barriques
This wine is deep black cherry in color with an alluring assortment of uplifted black cherries, dark berry fruits and traces of cut rosemary on the nose. You will also notice a hint of scorched almonds, ground coffee, tobacco leaves and licorice allsorts. On the palate it is a well-structured medium body wine with layers of plump plum and blackberry fruits. A mix of savoury spices, subtle herbs and firm, dusty tannins are balanced by good natural acidity. A perfect accompaniment to a veal ragout. Drink tonight or age for another 5-8 years.

Enthusiast
Established in 1969, Taltarni was one of the founding wineries in the iron-rich Pyrenees wine region in Victoria. John Goelet, a direct descendant of the Guestier wine merchant family of Bordeaux, discovered the Taltarni Vineyard through a worldwide search for a site comparable to the great vineyards of Bordeaux. From the outset, Taltarni has a strong French influence with the initial plantings of Bordeaux varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Soon after, Taltarni extended its plantings with Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay. The Goelet family also sources Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Taltarni has built its reputation on elegant sparkling wines that are crafted using methode traditionale techniques, as wells as producing exceptional red and white wines. The distinctive labels, featuring a 17th century cartouche, represent the attention to detail and the French elegance and finesses that are hallmarks of all Taltarni wines.
