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.

VARIETY: Grenache 86%, Shiraz 7%, Touriga 7%
IN THE VINEYARD
Our Discovery Grenache was planted in 2016 with this blend in mind. This is our inaugural release of single varietal Grenache having used it in blends the previous vintage. It was picked in late March to allow the fruit to reach flavour ripeness before over-developing tannin.
After 6 months of maturation in older French oak, each barrel was assessed, and the wine was blended to bring out the best qualities of this variety.
WINEMAKER COMMENTS
With a deep plum colour, this medium-bodied wine is perfectly balanced, with red fruit aromatics transitioning seamlessly to a bold, rich palate led by black cherries. Underpinned by time spent in older French oak, this medium-bodied wine finishes with a soft yet persistent strawberry flavour.
