The Present

Established in 1969, Taltarni is a founding winery of Victoria’s Pyrenees wine region. The picturesque 700ha property, purchased by current owner John Goelet (and Red Earth Nominees) in 1972, released its first wine in 1977. Today Taltarni has 132ha of vines.

The Pyrenees wine district is one of life’s hidden treasures – the rolling hills, sweeping bluffs and gum trees create a beautiful landscape and a great place to relax. In local aboriginal dialect Taltarni means ‘red earth', describing the rich, red soil of the region.

Taltarni also has vineyards, Clover Hill and Lalla Gully in the Piper’s River region of NE Tasmania and sources fruit from Victoria's Heathcote wine region. Establishment of vineyards at four unique sites creates a diversity of wine styles.

Taltarni Vineyards is also affiliated with Clos Du Val Winery in the Napa Valley and Domaine de Niza's in the Languedoc wine region of France.
