Taltarni is an established household name, known for producing extraordinarily high quality sparkling wines in Australia. Our vineyards in the Pyrenees and Tasmania are the source of two very coveted sparkling wines - Taltarni Brut and Taltarni Taché.

Taltarni Brut 2009 is a blend of the three classic sparkling wine varieties Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.

2009 was a fantastic sparkling vintage in South Eastern Australia, producing wines with great natural acidity and elegant, structured fruit flavours. This exquisite sparkling wine was fermented in its bottle and matured on yeast lees according to traditional methods, creating a final complex and sophisticated sparkling wine style.

Winemaker Comments

Pale straw in colour with a fine mousse and persistent bead. Taltarni Brut 2009 is a creamy, delicate and refreshing sparkling wine with a lifted bouquet of lemon, honeydew and nougat. The time on yeast lees has given this wine a lovely, textured mid palate and a smooth lingering finish. Drinking beautifully now but has the cellaring potential of up to five years.
