The Taltarni ‘dynamic’ range of wines represents the style, taste, and artistic expression of our winemakers.
Style: The Taltarni Blanc des Pyrenees is a limited-edition blended wine made from fruit grown on our estate in the Pyrenees, barrel fermented separately in small French oak before being assembled.
Tasting Notes: Golden yellow in colour, this wine has myriad aromatics. Up front, there are hints of passionfruit and citrus from the Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, in the background, there are notes of stone fruit and pear from the Viognier accompanying the nose.
On the palate, this wine shows a lovely acid backbone and nice texture from its work on lees in barrel. It presents with a vast array of flavours from the combination of varietals in the blend.
Region: Pyrenees, Victoria, Australia
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc 69%, Viognier 18%, Chardonnay 13%,
Vintage: A relatively temperate start to the 2023 season in the Pyrenees allowed the vines to produce fruit-driven styles.
Winemaking: Picked at optimal developmental stages, all these varieties were fermented in small oak barrel batches. Fermenting them at room temperature allowed us to develop complexity and textural components. Battonaged in barrel over six months delivered weight and volume. All these wines were aged separately and blended just prior to bottling.
