The Taltarni ‘Discovery’ range of wines is comprised of some rare and some not-so-rare varietals and blends that are a little off the beaten track. These wines allow our winemakers to experiment with style, structure, taste, and artistic expression and give drinkers of these wines the opportunity of Discovery.
Style: A limited-edition wine made from single vineyard fruit grown on our estate in the Pyrenees.
Tasting Notes: Rich cherry and delicate mulberry aromas pair well with the intense plum and cassis flavours. The palate, while being driven by fruit flavour, is balanced with a full body that finishes with soft tannins along with a hint of spice and sweet oak.
Region: Pyrenees, Victoria, Australia
Variety: Grenache 19%, Sangiovese 19%, Touriga 14%, Mourvedre 14%, Petit Verdot 14% Cabernet Sauvignon 12%, Shiraz 8%
Vintage:The 2022 growing season was temperate compared to traditional seasons in the state. These growing conditions allowed each variety to be harvested at their ideal ripeness, to get the best from the fruit.
Winemaking: Each batch was de‐stemmed and placed into open-top fermenters where traditional headed-down fermentation took place. After pressing, the wine was transferred into French oak barriques where it underwent malolactic fermentation. After 12 months of maturation, the individual batches were finally blended together to produce the very best of the regional reds.
