Taltarni has a strong international reputation for the production of superb Shiraz wines. The cooler climate of Victoria’s Pyrenees combined with the gravelly loam soils of our vineyard provide ideal growing conditions for creation of exceptional Shiraz.
Sourced from mature and carefully nurtured Estate-grown Shiraz vines and crafted using Taltarni’s finest winemaking methods Taltarni Shiraz 2003 exemplifies the Pyrenees regional benchmark style.
The drier conditions of the 2003 vintage produced smaller berries, thus intensifying rich red berry flavours and extraction of colour compounds to create a distinctive wine with beautifully integrated tannins and a lush, lingering finish.
Winemaker Comments
Colour: Vibrant magenta red
Nose: Sophisticated nose with concentrated aromas of blueberries, mocha and hints of cedar spice.
A soft palate with hints of blackberries and sweet
raspberries layered over delicious oak characteristics.
Serving and cellaring suggestions
Very appealing to drink now but built to cellar with confidence for at least ten years. Taltarni Shiraz 2003 will complement osso bucco made with a splash of the wine or lamb shanks or with aged Pyengana Cheddar.
