Taltarni Cuvée Brut Rosé 2015

The 2015 Cuvée Rosé by Taltarni is a blend of Pinot Noir 51%, Chardonnay 42%, and Pinot Meunier 7%.

A cool start to the 2015 growing season was well suited for growing sparkling fruit with a mild flow into the summer period.

This cool climate fruit exhibited bright varietal character, delivering lovely line and length through a delicate natural acidity. The fruit was pressed in an oxidative manner allowing phenolics to settle and be removed from the juice with the use of traditional fermentation methods, cold settling, and low temperature, the wine produced reflects the quality of the fruit while developing an elegant texture component. Partial malolactic fermentation was undertaken in oak with selected Chardonnay components to further enhance the structure of the wine. Once blended and prepared for tirage, the wine was inoculated with a Champagne yeast strain for its secondary fermentation in bottle.
